Description

If a custom property is added "ranger.sha256Password.update.disable" with value true, then MD5 password will not be converted to SHA256 hash.

Once this is available, it should be set in the Ambari QE automation to add this custom property to test rolling downgrade - with "ranger.sha256Password.update.disable" = "true" before the ranger-admin is started from Ambari.
