Description

User's Group name attribute in Ranger Usersync LDAP configuration should only be required when performing a user based search with group search disabled. In this case, group name that the user belongs to is retrieved from this attributed during ldap search.

In all other cases, user's group name attribute can be optional or ignored for ldap search attributes.
