The problem seemed to be resolved after I made two changes. The first change was to call kinit -kt ... in our metron account by updating the .bash_profile file. Once that was set up, I noticed "Denied" entries in Ranger for "metron" (and a few other cluster-related accounts). On closer inspection of the user list in Ranger there were a lot of user accounts missing.
The accounts that were missing from Ranger were those that were part of our Hadoop cluster. In other words, accounts created in LDAP/AD and added to groups for Ranger to sync appeared in the Ranger user accounts list. If accounts were originally created on the local system (Unix accounts), then appeared in LDAP/AD as part of Ambari-Kerberos registration then the accounts were not showing up in Ranger; it did not matter if the Unix accounts were added to the same groups we had set up for individual Users to be synced into Ranger. During the initial Ambari-Ranger service install process, I entered our LDAP/AD information and started usersync pulling information from LDAP/AD. I reinstalled Ranger, and used UNIX usersync for the initial installation. Once the local UNIX accounts, including metron, appeared in Ranger I switched the setting for usersync to use our Active Directory again. Once metron appeared in the user list, I updated the policy to allow metron and made several other changes to unblock storm, etc., and the error went away. Cheers, Tom.
