Hi,
I am currently testing Ovirt 3.1 standalone on Fedora 17.
Until now, I could only use the default user admin@internal.
Our Directory at the University is OpenLDAP. We use it for authentication WITHOUT Kerberos : Simple authentication.
I wonder how to use this backend to authenticate users and manage groups in Ovirt.
Has anyone already set this up ? How to configure Ovirt to use Simple Authentication (No Kerberos).
Cheers,

This is a response from an older thread from Yair Zaslavsky:
" there is no code allowing to add simple-authentication domains to Manage-Domains. In the past we did have the ability to do that, but there are several problematic issues."
Best regards, Hi,
correct-me if I am wrong but this wiki page ( http://www.ovirt.org/DomainInfrastructure ) states clearly :
1. Authenticating Active Directory, IPA and RHDS using either simple or gssapi authentication 2. Querying the directory using the LDAP protocol 3. Auto deducing the LDAP provider type 4. Easily adding new LDAP provider types 5. Easily adding new query types
So what ?
We supported simple authentication in the past, but it is no longer supported, that's why you can't set that using the manage domains utility. It may work well in some providers (in the past we supported that for active directory, so I guess it would work there).
I don't think we removed SIMPLE from the engine, we just don't recommend using it, since it doesn't encrypt user/password on the network (it is sometime useful for debugging).
We also don't auto deduce the LDAP provider type anymore, as changes in the providers caused some issues with it.
I'll edit the wiki accordingly (btw, I remember removing it from the wiki... so it is weird that it is still there...).
