We do have some wiki pages that can be useful to set up a development
environment, like:
http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Working_with_oVirt_Gerrit
http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Building_oVirt_engine
Architecture page:
http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Architecture
And specifically, there is a wiki page on the LDAP infrastructure,
that can give a clue on what entities we have there, and how to work
with them:
http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/DomainInfrastructure
When looking at OpenLDAP before I remember the issue was that we didn't have any
standard schema to work with, that had all the different attributes we need.
Currently, we require to authenticate to a Kerberos server. Also, the configuration of the
different provider queries is done inside the source code, and not configured externally.
So, IMO the best way to add a new OpenLDAP provider is first to externalize this
configuration, so that anyone can tweak it out according to his schema.
I hope the wiki pages above can give a clue on the infrastructure, but we would be more
than happy to help guiding you about that.
The relevant people are Yair Zaslavsky (yzaslavs(a)redhat.com), and Roy Golan
(rgolan(a)redhat.com), and myself, which did the latest work on this infrastructure, so we
would be more than happy to help on IRC, E-mails, phone calls, and etc.
Another relevant mailing list is engine-devel(a)ovirt.org, where most engine developers are,
so that's the best place to get guidance regarding git, gerrit, java, and every
development matter.
