Apache Ranger S3 Plugin

Ranger S3 Plugin enabled creation of policies in Apache Rangere for S3 buckets hosted on Ceph/RadosGW (S3 coming later). It merely allows for the creation of policies and does not set acls by itself. It can be used together with its sister golang project s3gw.

Installation

1. Build the jar as per usual. If you do not have a local Apache Ranger installation to test against use mvn package -DskipTests.
2. Copy the jar to ${RANGER_HOME}/ews/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/ranger-plugins/s3. Please note that the location is important (s3).
3. Load the service definition into Apache Ranger. curl -u <admin>:<admin> -d "@s3-ranger.json" -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://{RANGER_HOST}:{RANGER_PORT}/service/public/v2/api/servicedef
4. Configure the service in Apache Ranger by logging in to the Web UI.
