No, it was a accident :-). I'll mark this as solved as I will wait for the new release of ovirt. Thanks for your help.

Hello Alon, > All over? :) traveling into the past. This e-mail comes from Mailmans moderator queue. It was sent before I was registered. And after being registered I was unable to cancel the e-mail, because Mailman always told me the token was unknown. The problem is solved to my complete satisfaction. Kind regards Jannick

Setting Base DN for LDAP authentication
by jdeloro＠web.de 12 Jan '15

Hello, I'm trying to configure LDAP authentication with oVirt 3.5 and ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap. I chose the simple bind transport example. But the given examples are missing the explicit specification of a base dn. Could you please advise me how this can be done? My curent configuration: [jd@om01 ovirt-engine]$ cat aaa/company-ldap.properties include = <openldap.properties> vars.server = ldap.company.de vars.user = cn=system,dc=company,dc=de vars.password = password pool.default.serverset.single.server = ${global:vars.server} pool.default.auth.simple.bindDN = ${global:vars.user} pool.default.auth.simple.password = ${global:vars.password} [jd@om01 ovirt-engine]$ cat company-ldap-authn.properties ovirt.engine.extension.name = company-ldap-authn ovirt.engine.extension.bindings.method = jbossmodule ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.module = org.ovirt.engine-extensions.aaa.ldap ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engineextensions.aaa.ldap.AuthnExtension ovirt.engine.extension.provides = org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions.aaa.Authn ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.profile.name = company-ldap ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.authz.plugin = company-ldap-authz config.profile.file.1 = /etc/ovirt-engine/aaa/company-ldap.properties [jd@om01 ovirt-engine]$ cat company-ldap-authz.properties ovirt.engine.extension.name = company-ldap-authz ovirt.engine.extension.bindings.method = jbossmodule ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.module = org.ovirt.engine-extensions.aaa.ldap ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engineextensions.aaa.ldap.AuthzExtension ovirt.engine.extension.provides = org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions.aaa.Authz config.profile.file.1 = /etc/ovirt-engine/aaa/company-ldap.properties [jd@om01 ovirt-engine]$ ldapsearch -H ldap://ldap.company.de -D cn=system,dc=company,dc=de -W -b dc=company,dc=de cn=jdeloro # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=company,dc=de> with scope subtree # filter: cn=jdeloro # requesting: ALL # # jdeloro, users, admins, company.de dn: cn=jdeloro,ou=users,ou=admins,dc=company,dc=de [... and many more lines ...] I could not use namingContexts from RootDSE cause this results in base dn dc=de instead of dc=company,dc=de.

Hi All, We recently had a major crash on our ovirt environment due a strange bug (has been reported in the meanwhile). But now we are left we a bunch of aerts (+100) that are still standing there... Is there a way I can flush them manually from command line or so? Because the right click+clear all, doesn't seem to work that good... :-). Kind regards, Koen

As an additional information, we have a ZFS based storage with deduplicatio= n that we use for other backup purposes which does a great job especially b= ecause of the deduplication (we can storage generations of backups without = problems), this storage can be NFS exported and used as backup repository. Are there any backup and restore procedure you guys are using for backup an= d restore that works for you and can you point me into the right direction = ? I am a little bit list right now and would appreciate any help.
