In future you will be able to write plugin for authentication and authorization to do
whatever you like.
This is still work in progress as far as I can see[1].

While I think this is a great future addition, I really believe that the
default oVirt installation should include some form of integrated basic
authentication using the integrated DB! I was really surprised to see
this functionality missing. With the integrated DB, I have no idea why
the functionality isn't there. I know - it's all about priorities.
While LDAP is common, still - not everyone uses it! If I was buying
RHEV, the lack of the basic built in authentication would have been a
show stopper for me. Do I *really* need to use LDAP when I've got a
total of about 4 people maintaining everything? In fact, even if I
*was* using LDAP, the virtualization infrastructure has enough of its
own complexity that I'd rather separate it from LDAP - one less thing to
go wrong. If I was buying RHEV, the lack of basic authentication would
have been a showstopper for me.
