Hi,
I'm trying to find what are the different ways / approaches to automated
users/groups creation, based on a LDAP/AD database.
This is my first problematic : when a LDAP/AD provider is joined, and a
user is created in ovirt from this provider, the user heritates a part of
the attributes from this LDAP database. Now if I change one attribute on
the LDAP side (for example "first name"), it isn't updated on the ovirt
user.
Would there be other way to update this information than creating /
deleting the user ?
Those informations should be updated after next login of the user. We did
synchronization in the past, but we decided not to do that any more due to
performance/sync issues.
My second problematic is what should I use to automate creation of users.
It seems possible with :
- shell scripting : using ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool
This is usable only for users/groups in database
provided by aaa-jdbc extension
- python SDK
- java SDK
- rest API
Which one of these approaches would be the most simple ? I'm more familiar
with shell scripting than other languages. That would be nice to find a way
with it.
Concerning ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool, I've heard it was only adding/deleting
users from the internal DB, not the others. In that case, is there a way in
shell scripting to interact with other profiles than internal ?
You can create as many aaa-jdbc profiles as needed, please take a look at
README.administrator inside aaa-jdbc package
Is there files somewhere containing users and their informations I could
modify ?
What would happen if a user is in use and it is modified/deleted at the
same time ?
I know it makes a lot of questions, but I can't really get started before
having those answers.
We do not support modifying content of LDAP server, to do that you need to
use tools provided by your LDAP provider.
