Description

In order to sync group memberships from LDAP, usersync uses the value configured for "ranger.usersync.group.memberattributename" (generally it is memberUid in case of LDAP). In majority of LDAP servers, memberUid typically returns the shortname of the user. This was causing an issue while computing group membership in usersync.
