------------------------------------------
Summary: Add back the support to provide option to retrieve groups
from user memberof attribute
Key: RANGER-3203
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-3203
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Ranger, usersync
Reporter: Sailaja Polavarapu
Assignee: Sailaja Polavarapu
As part of RANGER-2986, group search is made mandatory. This is breaking an
usecase where customer wants to sync users and all the corresponding groups.
Previously, this could be achieved by setting
ranger.usersync.group.searchenabled to false and configure
ranger.usersync.ldap.user.groupnameattribute=memberof. That way, usersync used
to sync the users based on the user search base and user search filter and use
the "memberof" attribute of the user to sync all the groups each user belongs
to.
Now, if you want to achieve the same functionality, group search base and group
search filter have to be configured with appropriate filters for sync'ing the
groups which might be an extra overhead for the customers.
This is same for both full sync and incremental sync.
Note:- When incremental sync is enabled, it is highly recommended to enable
group search and configure group search base and group search filter
accordingly. (Refer to RANGER-1211 for more details)
