Hi,

Rangerusersync is only in Ranger ADMIN not UNIX.

Our HADOOP is kerberized but I don’t see how that affects ranger connecting to 
LDAP to gather users and group information.

I have tested the LDAP parameters with a command-line ldapsearch and have 
success but the lack of results within usersync is a mystery, and the lack of a 
clear error does not help.

Hi Marc,

If rangerusersync Unix user exists, then you may want to modify the unix_user 
and unix_group in install.properties to adapt to your case.
Now for Kerberos, this applies only if you are in a kerberised environment. 
Otherwise you leave this blank.
Best regards,


Loïc

Hi all,

Sorry to appear dumb but am still trying to get this working.

Why does install.properties have:

#User and group for the usersync process
unix_user=ranger
unix_group=ranger

If the rangerusersync ID exists?

#change password of rangerusersync user. Please note that this password should 
be as per rangerusersync user in ranger
rangerUsersync_password=

and KERBEROS

#Set to run in kerberos environment
usersync_principal=
usersync_keytab=
hadoop_conf=/etc/hadoop/conf

What does HADOOP Kerberos have to do with LDAP – our LDAP is active directory.
