             Summary: Change Ranger's default value for LDAP Group Sync Case 
Conversion properties to "none"
                 Key: AMBARI-15153
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-15153
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ambari-server
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Gautam Borad
            Assignee: Gautam Borad
             Fix For: 2.4.0


*Use Case:*

If user's LDAP / AD  has uppercase usernames and produce uppercase user 
Kerberos principals. When doing the initial user sync into Ranger, the default 
setting of "lower" causes all their user names to be saved in lower case, 
meaning they don't match the Kerberos principals that LDAP / AD is handing out. 
It seems to me the more sensible default for both username and group case 
conversion should be "none" and to just use whatever the backend directory 
hands out, as-is, to prevent unexpected confusion such as this.

*Proposed Solution:*
Change Ranger's default settings for below given properties : 

ldapGroupSync.username.caseConversion  = "none" 
ldapGroupSync.groupname.caseConversion = "none"
