Hi, I would like to submit a problem with active directory authentication. Let me make an introduction. Actually my infrastructure consists in 1 manager and 2 nodes (version 4.0.4). The active directory forest consists in many subdomains. In the active directory forest there are 2 type of accounts: -1- normal users, this account is similar to name.surname@domain.it -2- particular users, this account is similar to s123456@subdomain.domain.it
Important note: the subdomain of the account type 2 is an alias domain for example:
s123456@subdomain.domain.it is an alias of s123456@domain.it
When I do login from user portal:
- with normal users I login correctly and I can start the vm without problem - with particular users I login correctly but I can not start the vm although I have permissions. To solve this problem I must insert the account in the db of ovirt from administration portal in the users tab
I noticed that, with a particular users (s123456@subdomain.domain.it), the ovirt infrastructure does not automatically insert this account in the own db.
We do not insert those users in database only in case they are member of group which is added in system. But once you log in with this user it should inherit all permissions of the group which is member of. So can you please double check the group which those users are members has appropriate permissions to start the VM? You can also see what groups are resolved by oVirt engine to specific user by running following command: $ ovirt-engine-extensions-tool aaa login-user --user-name=s123456@subdomain.domain.it --profile=domain.it You could also hit this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1336707 What's the groups scopes?
Also the subdomain.domain.it is not in the list of the subdomains of the forest, perhaps it is for this reason that does not work properly.
I deduced that is an active directory problem (that in not resolvable for the complexity of the AD infrastructure), I ask you if exist a script for insert of many accounts at one time. Something like:
script.sh < list-users.txt
Something like this[1] should work for you. I didn't test it. Note it uses oVirt Python SDK version4. Which can be downloaded from pip as follows: pip install ovirt-engine-sdk-python But I wouldn't do it and would rather find the root cause as I think this is issue on oVirt side. [1] https://paste.fedoraproject.org/461499/
where the file lists-users.txt consists of a sequential list of accounts like this:
s000001@subdomain.polito.it s000002@subdomain.polito.it s000003@subdomain.polito.it s000004@subdomain.polito.it
Thank you very much for your help
