[jira] [Updated] (RANGER-5698) Disable Unix Authentication Service by default
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-5698?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Mugdha Varadkar updated RANGER-5698:
------------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 3.0.0
> Disable Unix Authentication Service by default
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RANGER-5698
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-5698
> Project: Ranger
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Ranger, usersync
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Mugdha Varadkar
> Assignee: Mugdha Varadkar
> Priority: Major
>
> The Unix Authentication service is rarely utilized for Ranger authentication, as the vast majority of deployments have migrated to modern alternatives like PAM or LDAP.
> To optimize default startup behavior, we are removing the Unix Authentication service from the Ranger Usersync default startup sequence.
> Moving forward, this service will run only if explicitly enabled via the `ranger.usersync.unix.auth.enabled` property within the ranger-ugsync-site.xml configuration file.
