Adding users/groups have moved to the base image: https://github.com/apache/ranger-tools/blob/main/docker/Dockerfile , please see this script: https://github.com/apache/ranger-tools/blob/0e27092aedb0db01be54300f2936a6244e80ec6c/docker/create_users_and_groups.sh#L1 if a user like shadow is really required to be added.

The comment may be removed, it's not relevant in docker deployments.

it seems setup.py still using "ranger.usersync.keystore.file" and ranger-ugsync-template.xml does not have entry of ranger.usersync.service.https.attrib.keystore.file ; am i missing something here.

i think we should this also as false when ENABLE_UNIX_AUTH is false by default.
| # Also, Unix authentication is enabled in Ranger Admin. | ||
| # defaults to false | ||
| ENABLE_UNIX_AUTH = false | ||

what will happen to upgrade case by default. probably they have to edit this line if they want to continue with unixauth.

| LOG.info("Stopping curator leader latch service as main thread is closing"); | ||

Can you test this once when unix auth is disabled and usersync is running in HA once.

What changes were proposed in this pull request?
The Unix Authentication service is rarely utilized for Ranger authentication, as the vast majority of deployments have migrated to modern alternatives like PAM or LDAP.
To optimize default startup behavior, we are removing the Unix Authentication service from the Ranger Usersync default startup sequence.
Moving forward, this service will run only if explicitly enabled via the
ranger.usersync.unix.auth.enabledproperty within theranger-ugsync-site.xmlconfiguration file.How was this patch tested?
