Install/Configure Ranger User Sync:Instructions

1. Start by extracting out binaries at the appropriate place. 
       cd /usr/local
       sudo tar zxf ~/dev/ranger/target/ranger-0.4.0-usersync.tar.gz
       sudo ln -s ranger-0.4.0-usersync ranger-usersync
       sudo mkdir -p /var/log/ranger-usersync
       sudo chown ranger /var/log/ranger-usersync; sudo chgrp ranger /var/log/ranger-usersync
       cd ranger-usersync
2. Now let’s edit the install.properties file. Here are the relevant lines that you should edit:
        POLICY_MGR_URL=http://localhost:6080
        SYNC_SOURCE=unix
        logdir=/var/log/ranger/usersync
3. Now install the usersync by running the setup command
        export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 ./setup.sh

4. create a valid symlink in /usr/bin/ for start/stop of ranger usersync
        cd /usr/bin
        ln -sf /usr/local/ranger-usersync/start.sh ranger-usersync-start
        ln -sf /usr/local/ranger-admin/ews/stop.sh ranger-usersync-stop

5. update ranger-usersync service file to link to the start and stop scripts 

        vim /etc/init.d/ranger-usersync ( Update the Start and Stop commands to point to the created symlinks )

6. Start the Ranger Usersync
         service ranger-usersync start

7. You can verify by looking at the users tab in Ranger Admin. Unix host users should be sync'ed to ranger.
