Migration from Apache Ranger UserSync to Privacera UserSync
Privacera generally recommends using its own version of UserSync (called Privacera UserSync) over the open-source Apache Ranger UserSync. Privacera has rewritten the Ranger UserSync to improve performance and features.
By default, all PrivaceraCloud customers are provisioned to use Privacera Usersync for improved performance capabilities and feature availability over Ranger UserSync. Below are the steps for platform customers to migrate.
All customers must migrate to use Privacera Usersync by March 31, 2024.
Migration steps
For Privacera Platform customers seeking to transition from Apache Ranger UserSync to Privacera UserSync, there are required manual steps to change the configuration.
Navigate to the privacera-manager/config/custom-vars folder.
cd privacera-manager/config/custom-vars
Rename the vars.usersync.ldaps.yml file to have a different extension (e.g. vars.usersync.ldaps.yml.bak).
Ensure that the Ranger UserSync POD/Image has stopped.
./privacera_manager.sh stop usersync
Copy the following files:
../sample-vars/vars.privacera-usersync.yml
../sample-vars/vars.privacera-usersync.ldap.yml
Edit the vars.privacera-usersync.ldap.yml file with the desired configurations.
