[jira] [Created] (RANGER-652) LDAP configuration tool

Velmurugan Periasamy created RANGER-652:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: LDAP configuration tool
                 Key: RANGER-652
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-652
             Project: Ranger
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 0.5.0
            Reporter: Velmurugan Periasamy
             Fix For: 0.6.0


A common use-case for Ranger is to sync the enterprise LDAP/AD users and make the process of defining authorization policies simpler. Currently, making this integration to LDAP/AD server require some effort from the administrator as Ranger provides many properties that need to be configured to sync the LDAP/AD users.

It would be very helpful to have a tool that helps administrators to configure LDAP properties for Ranger UserSync and LDAP/AD authentication for Ranger Admin. 

For example, this tool can collect minimal input about the LDAP/AD server and provide suggestions for various other LDAP/AD properties in order to successfully pull only targeted Users and Groups from the LDAP/AD server. Admins can change the input and verify if they are correct by validating the users/groups retrieved. 

Once all the properties are discovered and tested with the tool, these values can be applied in Ranger config. This will save time and reduce errors when configuring ranger usersync and admin.
