Hi All,
I've just uploaded to Gerrit a patch that adds atlassian crowd
authentication support to oVirt.(http://gerrit.ovirt.org/9324)
All the nitty gritty details are in the commit message, but basically
this adds a new authentication domain, and when selected sends the
authentication request off to a crowd server.
We have been using this patch on 3.1 for a while, and I thought its
overdue to see if you guys are interested in taking this upstream?
There are two areas that I know could use improvements:
1) caching the results from the crowd server, so we don't query for
every API request etc.
2) adding proper memberOf support so groups work correctly.
Please let me know if you guys are interested in this, and please be
gentle on your reviews - Iḿ not a Java Programmer by any means, and
probably brought too many C++ traits over here... :)
i thought worth mentioning to anyone seeing this thread that there is an
active discussion on the patch.
main non technical issue is trying to understand which license the crowd
library would be under.
