Resolve Issues SONARPLUGINS-2931 (Update pom.xml) and SONARPLUGINS-3028 (Use the sonar.security.realm property)

[jamesd35]

This fix is to change CrowdPlugin to use the new CrowdRealm, which extends SecurityRealm, instead of CrowdAuthenticator.
As a result, one needs to change the SONARQUBE_HOME/conf/sonar.properties file accordingly:

sonar.authenticator.class: org.sonar.plugins.crowd.CrowdAuthenticator
to
sonar.security.realm: Crowd

This version is not backwards compatible with the old configuration using sonar.authenticator.class.

Hi James, thanks for your pull request!

As stated on the SonarQube Users mailing list, we currently lack the expertise and infrastructure here at SonarSource to evaluate your work before integration and we are actively looking for someone to become maintainer of the plugin (with push rights on the repository and full ownership over the release process).

You can participate to the discussion on #1

Hi @jamesd1111

[stalxed]

When this release(2.0) is planned?

[aheritier]

Good reminder @stalxed . I need to update few docs and launch the release process (with the hope to have few feedbacks). Myself I'm using a SNAPSHOT for 2 months and I have no big issue excepted for https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONAR-4950 for which there is a workaround and the fix should come soon. Perhaps you could give a try to the SNAPSHOT (http://repository-sonarplugins.forge.cloudbees.com/snapshot/org/codehaus/sonar-plugins/sonar-crowd-plugin/2.0-SNAPSHOT/sonar-crowd-plugin-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar) and give me few feedbacks ?

[stalxed]

Thank you for plugin!
I test this plugin in next envirmoment:

• Windows Server 2012 R2
• Atlassian Crowd 2.7.2(now its latest version)
• SonarQube 4.5(now its latest version)

Works fine!:

• User creates/updated when login.
• Correctly assigned to the user group.

Questions:

1. Do you plan to update members on the timer(like in Atlassian products)?
2. I not test yet, but question. This pluigin support Crowd Single sign-on? Or will be in future?

Thanks a lot @stalxed for your feedback.
About the background sync I proposed it to the core team https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONAR-4950?focusedCommentId=351146&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-351146 (cc @gaudol @bellingard ). I think it should be done in the core and I'm not sure we can do it on the plugin side (at least something clean)
About SSO it should be possible (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARPLUGINS-694) but I didn't yet started to implement it.
