Pradeep Agrawal created RANGER-1276: ---------------------------------------
Summary: User/Group search is failing due to encoding issues Key: RANGER-1276 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1276 Project: Ranger Issue Type: Bug Components: Ranger Affects Versions: 0.7.0 Reporter: Pradeep Agrawal Assignee: Pradeep Agrawal if usersync process add groups with spaces in ranger admin, then to remove a user from a group it calls REST: /group/{groupName}/user/{userName} In this REST call if a group name contains spaces then URLEncoder.encode(s, "UTF-8") method replace these spaces with + symbol and request is forwarded to ranger-admin. Whenever Ranger receives group name with + character (rather spaces) it tries to search the received group name in db but fails to find any rows as the group name with '+' character does not exist. At Ranger admin end this process is considered as a failure of the request and ranger-admin sends the error message to the log file. Expected : During encoding usersync process should encode spaces to %20 so that ranger-admin can decode the %20 code to spaces. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
