             Summary: Disable Unix Authentication Service by default
                 Key: RANGER-5698
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-5698
             Project: Ranger
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Ranger, usersync
            Reporter: Mugdha Varadkar
            Assignee: Mugdha Varadkar


The Unix Authentication service is rarely utilized for Ranger authentication, 
as the vast majority of deployments have migrated to modern alternatives like 
PAM or LDAP. 

To optimize default startup behavior, we are removing the Unix Authentication 
service from the Ranger Usersync default startup sequence. 

Moving forward, this service will run only if explicitly enabled via the 
`ranger.usersync.unix.auth.enabled` property within the ranger-ugsync-site.xml 
configuration file.
