Additional Steps for Apache Ranger

The Ranger plugins for HDFS and Solr may not be enabled by default. Ranger plugins enable Cloudera Manager stack components – such as HDFS and Solr – to connect to Ranger and access its authorization and audit services. Verify that the HDFS and Solr plugins are enabled after you install and start the Ranger service.

    1. Login to Cloudera Manager.
    2. Go to the HDFS Service status page.
    3. Click the Configuration tab.
    4. Search for the Enable Ranger Authorization configuration property.
    5. If the Enable Ranger Authorization property is not selected, select it and save the changes.
    6. Go to the Ranger Service status page and click Actions > Setup Ranger Plugin Service.
    7. Restart the HDFS service.
  2. To enable the Ranger Solr plugin:
    1. Login to Cloudera Manager.
    2. Go to the Solr Service status page.
    3. Click the Configuration tab.
    4. Search for the Enable Ranger Authorization configuration property.
    5. If the Enable Ranger Authorization property is not selected, select it and save the changes.
    6. Restart the Solr service.
