I'm trying to get rhevm 3.1 (which seems to be pretty much ovirt 3.1
from what I can tell) authenticating against our active directory
infrastructure bu am having some difficulty that I don't quite
understand and was hoping someone may know what is happening.
The server where rhevm/ovirt is running is a RHEL6 based server that has
NIS configured (with user home directories mounted via
nfs/automounter). The userids in nis match the userids in our
ActiveDirectory server (in fact the passwords should match too since
there is a sync between the two).
I added the Activedirectory server into ovirt (through
rhevm-manage-domains) and it is added/validated successfully. As the
local admin user I can go in and search agains the active directory, add
permissions, etc.
But... If I try to log into the webadmin/user portals with one of the
active directory accounts it seems to hang... and I noticed that it
seems to be trying to mount the home directory of a bunch of users via
the automounter (perhaps its trying to mount everyones home directory...
can't tell). This takes a super long time since the home directories
are all across the world and nfs access to some of these filesystems is
really slow... i'm not sure it will ever complete... certainly not
before the user gives up.
Anyone know what would cause this? I wouldn't think this should
happen. I was thinking it should just authenticate the password and
then look at the permissions granted inside overt/rhevm.
thanks.
