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.

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]. Alon [1] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:ovirt-engine+branch:master+t...
