Hi, All, I am really having problems understanding the configuration here. We are trying to manually install Ranger as we do not use cloudera or Ambari.
I assume that the plugins would best served by using existing Hadoop users - for HDFS, HIVE, YARN, etc. So I intend to stick with the install.prop defaults for these credentials. Some time ago we managed to get 2.4.0 with a working usersync up and running on a very small test system. Cut to today and I am working with 2.5.0. I looked on our test Kerberos server and do NOT see any data for rangeradmin, ranger unix user, or for usersync. I only see a hdfs principal. So, obviously, I assume we did not have a necessity for that extra security. I am confused with rangerlookup also. What is this for? I cannot find any decent documentation for ranger installation that is less than 10 years old and for any version other than 0.5. I have been bashing my head with this for a couple of months and, were it up to me, would shelve the whole thing as too much effort to be working in the dark. Thanks Marc
