-------------------------------------
Summary: Use system supplied mechanism to get users and groups on
unix
Key: RANGER-827
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-827
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: usersync
Reporter: Bolke de Bruin
The unix user sync currently reads /etc/passwd /etc/groups . This is often not
a reflection of users and groups available on a system especially when nsswitch
is configured (eg. sssd, ldap etc).
Secondly in some cases groups will contain user names that are not returned
with "getent passwd", especially "external users" and is is required to add
these using the group information.
