[ovirt-users] Re: change from LDAP to AD authentication

Thanks Martin, Not really, my initial attempts were held up because I got confused with the new usrname format which is now UPN@domain and now equated to name@domain@domain or name@subdomain.domain(a)domain. It may be easier for us to add permissions to the templates,VM, and disks or to use the roles service to find the user/object.

Any reason other than political to do that? ? I have managed to configure a test system that allows users to login using the CN (sAMAccountName) as before. The users in the system using the AD namespace are using their UPN for their user name. Do we have to copy permissions from all the old accounts to their new accounts or is there a way to rename them to the UPN retaining there old permissions? ?I don't think there is any other way than to copy permissions. But you can automate the process using for example ovirt_permissions/ovirt_permissions?_facts Ansible modules [1] or one of our SDKs (Python, Java, Ruby).
