Intergrating Ambari and Ranger with LDAP - from scratch manual steps

avatar

I want to integrate Ambari and Ranger with LDAP/AD . The infra team has just shared ip and port for LDAP/AD server.

I am looking into the Hortonworks docs but not able to find how I can integrate. If some one can provide the manual steps for that it will be handy. I have got docs but seems bit confusing to me.

Try to use 'ambari-server setup-ldap' command to configure ldap. It's basically just fill /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties file with the user inputs, after override ambari.properties, you should restart ambari-server. Example for ldap related properties in ambari.properties file:

client.security=ldap

authentication.ldap.baseDn=dc=hdp01,dc=local

authentication.ldap.bindAnonymously=false

authentication.ldap.dnAttribute=distinguishedName

authentication.ldap.groupMembershipAttr=member

authentication.ldap.groupNamingAttr=cn

authentication.ldap.groupObjectClass=group

authentication.ldap.managerDn=cn=hdfs,ou=hdp,dc=hdp01,dc=local

authentication.ldap.managerPassword=/etc/ambari-server/conf/ldap-password.dat

authentication.ldap.primaryUrl=myhost:389

authentication.ldap.useSSL=false

authentication.ldap.userObjectClass=person

authentication.ldap.usernameAttribute=cn
