Ranger sync of AD groups gives PartialResultException

[#1]

We are trying to sync groups from AD to Ranger. User Sync works, but when we sync the groups we are getting the following exception:

Failed to initialize UserGroup source/sink. Will retry after 3600000 milliseconds. Error details:

javax.naming.PartialResultException: Unprocessed Continuation Reference(s); remaining name

In Ambari Ranger Config, in 'Advanced ranger-ugsync-site’ change the value of 'ranger.usersync.ldap.referral' to 'follow'. It’s likely set to the default now which is ‘ignore’

Let me know how that works for you.

Thanks, its working now. I also removed a group filter for it to start pulling info.
