Is the feature Local Authentication abandoned in 3.3? If not, what should I do to use it? Question is unclear.
What do you call "Local Authentication", after setup can't you login using admin user? Sorry for that. I mean, use users in /etc/passwd to login.
I never knew this is was an option.
Or you mean something new that was planned somewhere?
I am against of using native authentication for applications, as it enables more privileges that users should have.
The proper way to do that is to use directory services, such as LDAP and integrate the nss of system and application to use that directory.
Regards, Alon I saw this from**http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Local_Authentication%E2%80%8E So I thought it would be available now..
It seems that I have to use ldap now.
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. Jason.
