Hi Uwe, Bare in mind we have some plans for refactoring/changing the authentication module. However, for the meanwhile - we will be very happy if you can assist in adding this support. I would like to introduce you to a Wiki that Oved Ourfali has written about the subject - http://www.ovirt.org/DomainInfrastructure Please let us know if this helps you with your questions. kind regards, Yair ----- Original Message -----

Hello together,
regarding support for OpenLDAP as domain provider I found this mail from last year on ovirt-users list :http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-July/002791.html
I would like to add support for OpenLDAP to oVirt. As a start I had a look at ovirt-engine/backend/manager/modules/bll/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/bll/adbroker/ITDS* which seems to be very similar to the RHDS classes.
I simply copied all ITDS*.java files to OpenLdap*.java and changed class names and so forth from ITDS/itds to OpenLdap/openLdap. I also changed user and group attributes to make sense for OpenLDAP. Additionally I enhanced the LdapQueryMetadataFactoryImpl class, again copying mostly from ITDS and others.
To the very last I enhanced the enum at ovirt-engine/backend/manager/modules/utils/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/ldap/LdapProviderType.java with an OpenLDAP entry.
Right now I do not oversee the whole LDAPBroker code. Especially I do not know how enum at LdapProviderType.java is related the code found at bll/adbroker/*.
Could you please give me some guidance and advise, if I am on the right track? I could also send a diff of all changes to the list, if that is helpful. Thanks very much. _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
