Hi Bryan,
I am trying to answer your this question:
- Is there a way to start the admin tool from an IDE? (assuming you havethe
back end database setup)
>>> I am using Eclipse IDE for the development purpose and these are the steps
>>> that I follow to run Admin tool using Eclipse. At a first glance it seems
>>> very much changes but it's one time changes so I don't mind doing this and
>>> also it saves lot of time in development if Admin tool is configured in our
>>> favorite IDE. So here are the complete steps :
- Clone incubator-ranger from here
- run maven build using this command: mvn clean compile package install
assembly:assembly -e
- Import incubator-ranger into eclipse
- Now you have to configure the database. And as you said that we can assume
that you already have database setup.
- Now open this file from your IDE:
security-admin/src/main/resources/conf.dist/ranger-admin-site.xml. Update this
file with your database configuration. You need to change the following
properties:
- ranger.jpa.jdbc.url
- ranger.jpa.jdbc.user
- ranger.jpa.jdbc.password
- ranger.jpa.audit.jdbc.url
- ranger.jpa.audit.jdbc.user
- ranger.jpa.audit.jdbc.password
- Next open security-admin/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml. In this file
change this line WEB-INF/classes/conf/security-applicationContext.xml --->
WEB-INF/classes/conf.dist/security-applicationContext.xml. You will find this
line in this context: <context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
- [OPTIONAL]: If you want to see logs into your IDEs console then change
<param-value>/WEB-INF/log4j.xml</param-value> --->
<param-value>/WEB-INF/log4j.dev.xml</param-value>
- Next open security-admin/src/main/webapp/META-INF/applicationContext.xml.
In this file you have to update bean with id="propertyConfigurer". Here make
this change:
- <value>classpath:ranger-admin-default-site.xml</value> --->
<value>classpath:conf.dist/ranger-admin-default-site.xml</value>
- <value>classpath:ranger-admin-site.xml</value> --->
<value>classpath:conf.dist/ranger-admin-site.xml</value>
- [OPTIONAL]: In my case I had to comment out below dependency in
security-admin/pom.xml.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>
<version>${springframework.spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
- At last, don't forget to add dependency of database connector in
security-admin/pom.xml.
- After this all is done, you can simply deploy security-admin-web as a
normal java web application on tomcat server in eclipse.
@Bryan - Do Let me know if you find any difficulty in following these
steps.@Rangers - Please let me know if anyone of you feel that any of the above
step is misplaced or wrong or completely missing.

If anyone is interested I created a project for taking the
ranger-admin.tar.gz from the target directory and deploying it with Vagrant:

Some of the scripting could probably be a better, but it seems to be
getting the job done for now.
