Don Bosco Durai commented on RANGER-652:
----------------------------------------
[~spolavarapu], I saw that you have added the documentation. Can can you also
give the instruction about how to build? Does regular build is enough? If so,
let's make a note of it in the document and point it to our installation/build
page.
Regarding LDAPS, if the OpenLDAP or AD is using self-signed certificates, then
do we need to do anything more to run this tool? The reason I am asking is,
recently there have been some issues connecting to LDAPs.
Thanks

> A common use-case for Ranger is to sync the enterprise LDAP/AD users and make
> the process of defining authorization policies simpler. Currently, making
> this integration to LDAP/AD server require some effort from the administrator
> as Ranger provides many properties that need to be configured to sync the
> LDAP/AD users.
> It would be very helpful to have a tool that helps administrators to
> configure LDAP properties for Ranger UserSync and LDAP/AD authentication for
> Ranger Admin.
> For example, this tool can collect minimal input about the LDAP/AD server and
> provide suggestions for various other LDAP/AD properties in order to
> successfully pull only targeted Users and Groups from the LDAP/AD server.
> Admins can change the input and verify if they are correct by validating the
> users/groups retrieved.
> Once all the properties are discovered and tested with the tool, these values
> can be applied in Ranger config. This will save time and reduce errors when
> configuring ranger usersync and admin.
