  • How to map external ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR to internal ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR with CAS in JasperReports Server 5.1

    • Features: User Authorization Version: v5.1 Product: JasperReports® Server

    In JasperReports Server 5.1 when CAS creates a user using roles from an external datasource it will create the roles in the default organization where the user is created. For security reasons ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR from an external datasource will not have have administrator permissions unless the following change is made in the security configuration.

    In applicationContext-externalAuth-CAS-db-mt.xml in the organizationRoleMap propery of the mtExternalUserSetupProcessor bean change the key value "ROLE_ADMIN_EXTERNAL_ORGANIZATION" to "ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR" and remove the "|*" from entry value. The configuration will now look like the following snippet:

    <property name="organizationRoleMap">
        <map>
            <!-- Example of mapping customer roles to JRS roles -->
            <entry>
                <key>
                    <value>ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR</value>
                </key>
                <!-- JRS role that the <key> external role is mapped to-->
                <!--<value>ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR</value>-->
                <value>ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR</value>
            </entry>
        </map>
    </property>
    

    The externally defined user with ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR will now be mapped to the internal ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR and will have full administrator permissions.
