Hi Lune, The property "xml_configurations_supported" was introduced in Ambari 2.1.0 for the supporting the xml based configurations.
*History*: In ranger 0.5 (which was part of HDP-2.3), the ranger codebase was changed to read properties from xml file, ranger-admin-site.xml. Previously these properties were read from .properties file. Now to support this change the setup process would need to be changed. Considering the most common two ways Ranger is generally installed, this required the following changes: 1. *Manual installation *(non-Ambari): This required changes in setup.sh file to read the properties from the install.properties and populate the ranger-admin-site.xml 2. *Ambari based installation*: Since here we need to support both xml based and non-xml based Ranger codebase, i had to come up with a flag (xml_configurations_supported) to differentiate between them. If the flag is set, the UI properties are written to xml file, and if unset its written to install.properties. HTH. Thanks.
