Configuring the Ranger Policy Administration Authentication Mode
The Ranger service also enables you to configure the authentication method the Ranger Policy Administration component uses to authenticate users. There are three different authentication methods supported with Ranger, which include:
Active Directory (AD)
LDAP
UNIX
Depending on which authentication method you choose, you will need to modify the
following sample values in the install.properties file:
Active Directory
authentication_method=ACTIVE_DIRECTORY
xa_ldap_ad_domain= example.com
xa_ldap_ad_url=ldap://127.0.0.1:389
