Summary
In this chapter specific for the Enterprise version of Neo4j, we have seen the use and importance of roles, how to give them to users, how to create roles, and how to restrict procedures calls to specific roles--which is perfect for restricting the view on the graph of users, provided they cannot access the web application we called Neo4j browser throughout this book (configure this in neo4j.conf
).
We have seen how to run a containerized OpenLDAP server with a chosen dataset and connect this directory to a Neo4j server so that authentication becomes delegated to the OpenLDAP server. This way, the Neo4j admin does not have to recreate users in Neo4j and users do not have another password to remember.
In Chapter 11, Visualization for Neo4j, we will see a completely different domain and see how to do some visualization of our data.
