Description

As part of work for KNOX-1339 Cloud Federation use case, we propose a new federation provider that can be used for topology based federation from one Knox instance to another.

The new provider would be

<provider>
    <role>federation</role>
    <name>CloudFederationProvider</name>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <param>
            <name>cloud.federation.host</name>
            <value>cloud</value>
    </param>
    <param>
            <name>cloud.federation.port</name>
            <value>8443</value>
    </param>
    <param>
            <name>cloud.federation.gateway</name>
            <value>gateway</value>
    </param>
    <param>
            <name>cloud.federation.topology</name>
            <value>sandbox</value>
    </param>
</provider>

The above provider will be used to form a URL that will be used to talk to the federated Knox instance. This provider will also use HeaderPreAuthFederationDispatch internally as a result the federated Knox instance should be using HeaderPreAuth authentication.
