Is it possible to set 'Skip Group Modifications' on a already installed environment

mart_van_loon — Tue, 12 Apr 2016 22:47:01 GMT

Our environment is already installed. Now we want to use an LDAP for the user managment (hdfs, oozie, sqoop, etc...). When starting the hosts an error is raised about usermod is not possible ( user does not exist in /etc/passwd).

During installation you can set 'Skip Group Modifications'. How can this be set afterwards?

You could try setting this cluster-env parameter "ignore_groupsusers_create" using configs.sh.

cd /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/scripts

./configs.sh set $AMBARI-SERVER-FQDN $AMBARI-CLUSTER-NAME global ignore_groupsusers_create "true"

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response. I've tried it but get an error.

allconfigsh.txt configlst.txt@jramakrishnan

I've made a script which does the config.sh set for all configs (see attachement). This works.

@Mart van Loon

Instead of global could you try "cluster-env" ?

Re: Is it possible to set 'Skip Group Modifications' on a already installed environment

pminovic — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:05:07 GMT

This works after replacing "global" with "cluster-env", and quotes on the new value are not required, for example:

./configs.sh set h10.example.com c1 cluster-env ignore_groupsusers_create true
