Example authentication and authorization plugins for Neo4j
You have to run this with Java 11.
If you just want to build the plugins, you can choose to ignore integration tests by running:
mvn clean install -DskipITs
Copy the output jar file into the plugins folder of Neo4j Enterprise Edition 4.0 or later:
cp plugins/target/neo4j-example-auth-plugins-<VERSION>.jar <NEO4J-HOME>/plugins/
Edit the Neo4j configuration file <NEO4J-HOME>/conf/neo4j.conf and add the dbms.security.authentication_providers
and dbms.security.authorization_providers settings, e.g.:
dbms.security.authentication_providers=plugin-org.neo4j.example.auth.plugin.MyAuthPlugin
dbms.security.authorization_providers=plugin-org.neo4j.example.auth.plugin.MyAuthPlugin
You can also enable multiple plugins simultaneously e.g.:
dbms.security.authentication_providers=plugin-MyAuthPlugin1,plugin-MyAuthPlugin2
You can also toggle authentication and authorization enabled individually by only adding it to either of the settings:
dbms.security.authentication_providers=plugin-MyAuthPlugin1
dbms.security.authorization_providers=plugin-MyAuthPlugin2
(NOTE: Any plugin implementing the simplified AuthPlugin interface must be in both dbms.security.authentication_providers
and dbms.security.authorization_providers, or it will not be loaded)
