Git Plug-in

Datameer X's git plug-in automatically commits workbook changes to a git repository using the Datameer X Event Bus, providing easier access to prior states of a workbook. The following four new workbook REST APIs use the Git plug-in:

Kerberos Plug-in

Kerberos secured impersonation is available through a plug-in. 

...

  1. Open the 'Admin' tab → 'Plug-Ins' and select the plug-in in ''Obfuscation Plug-in''. The 'configure' icon appears in column 'Actions'.

     

  2. Click the the ''Configure'' icon icon. The plug-in settings open. 
  3. Choose the obfuscation algorithm "/wiki/spaces/DASSB110/pages/20221231386" from algorithm "AES" from the drop-down. 
  4. Enter the AES encryption key. 
    INFO: The key consists of 16 characters and must fulfill: select mode /wiki/spaces/DASSB110/pages/20221231386 select mode CBC, key size 128 bits, output text format Base64. 
  5. Enter the AES Initialization Vector and confirm with with "Save". Column obfuscation is finished.
    INFO: Use the same encryption key and initialization vector fulfilling the same preferences. 
     

SAML SSO

The /wiki/spaces/DASSB100/pages/32569527062 plugThe SAML SSO plug-in delivered with Datameer X provides the basic infrastructure which allows Datameer X to participate in a SAML SSO environment as a service provider.

REST API Dependencies 

The following REST APIs for dependencies are included:

REST API for Migrating Folders

REST API for downloading and migrating folders between environments:

Multi-User Group Sharing

...

Info
titleINFO

By default, when secure impersonation is enabled, you could share an artifact with a single user group only. This results out of the limitation of a standard POSIX file permission level 'user:group:others'.

...

With the plugin 'Multiple Group Sharing by ACLs', Datameer X creates a HDFS ACL for a certain file/ folder in the HDFS to reflect additional group permissions. Note that it is not supported to migrate from the ACL mode to the POSIX mode (see https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsPermissionsGuide.html). The default sharing mode can be overwritten with the REST call.

When the secure mode 'Native Multi User' (NMU) is enabled and the plugin 'Multiple Group Sharing by ACLs' is installed, then the multi group sharing is the default mechanism.

Enabling Multi-User Group Sharing

To enable this functionality:

  1. Ensure that the HDFS ALC functionality is enabled at the Hadoop cluster. 
    INFO: See Enabling ACLs.
  2. Install the 'Multiple Group Sharing by ACLs' plug-in in Datameer X's 'Admin' section. 
  3. Activate the plug-in via REST API. 
    INFO: This step is not required when NMU mode is activated.
