How to start ranger-hdfs plugin manually? we have a ranger .4 on hdp2.2.4. the ranger policies were being by-passed to hadoop-acl. I tried to diable anb enable the plugin on namenode by using the enable-hdfs-plugin.sh script and it threw an error as :

The error says "XAAUDIT.DB.USER_NAME" is not defined in the file: [/usr/hdp/2.2.4.10-3/ranger-hdfs-plugin/install.properties] . Did you check if you have defined this property for ranger audit db .

I have disabled the audit logging to a database by setting:

XAAUDIT.DB.IS_ENABLED=false

But it still asks for a username.
