-----------------------------------
Summary: Change Ranger's default value for LDAP User / Group Sync
Case Conversion properties to "none"
Key: RANGER-898
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-898
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: usersync
Affects Versions: 0.5.1
Reporter: Mehul Parikh
Assignee: Mehul Parikh
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.6.0
*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"
