Create a Ranger user for the Initial Admin Identity

In some upgrade scenarios, you must manually create a Ranger user for the Initial Admin Identity and add it to the nifi group.

You should perform these steps if you are upgrading from a CFM 1.1.0 installation where:

  • CFM has Kerberos and TLS enabled; AND
  • The CDP Private Cloud Base cluster does not have Auto-TLS enabled; AND
  • You want Ranger as part of your CFM 2.1.2 on CDP Private Cloud Base 7.1.x deployment.

Ranger is running on your CDP Private Cloud Base 7.1.x cluster.

  1. Create a Ranger user with the same user name as your NiFi Initial Admin Identity.
  2. Assign this user to the Ranger group nifi.
  3. Create a Ranger user with the same username as your NiFi Registry Initial Admin Identity.
  4. Assign this user to the Ranger group nifiregistry.
