Description

Ranger should support computing user group memberships by searching for users and groups

At present, Ranger does ldap search for only user entries and relies on ldap attributes of user to provide user group memberships.

This Jira proposes that in case the ldap back end does not provide user attribute that would give user group memberships, Ranger should compute the memberships by doing additional ldap search for groups. (Hadoop ldap group mapping does this.)
