Sailaja Polavarapu updated RANGER-3203:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
As part of RANGER-2986, group search is made mandatory. This is breaking an 
usecase to sync users and all the corresponding groups from AD/LDAP.

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 configuration overhead.

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)
