Seems our email crossed each other For Hadoop 2.6 you need to use Ranger 0.4. You can see the installation document at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/RANGER/Ranger+Installation+Guide . For HDFS authorization you shouldn¹t see much difference between Ranger 0.4 and Ranger 0.5.
Regarding the repo, you need to give the values from your core-site.xml. Also note, ³Test Connection² is not mandatory. We can always make it work later. The main issue for you would be the the config path and libraries. Can you find out where the core-site.xml is on your Namenode? It will help to do the configuration.
