I am trying to get LDAP integration working with FreeIPA, it would seem that the
instructions to do so are the same across the RHEV and oVirt administration guides and
other sites that have replicated that information and based on oVirt 4.4 (I am running
4.5.2).
I have it configured as per the oVirt admin guide with:
- the test as part of the setup tool returned success
- I have created a ovirt-admins LDAP group, which was successfully found by oVirt and I
have created a new group within oVirt for that.
But how do I actually login with a LDAP user credentials?
Documentation refers to selecting the Profile that was configured with the LDAP setup, but
doesn't seem to be provided since 4.5 on the login screen?
Keycloak is reporting that it is trying to validate the login against the Internal profile
so I assume it isn't able to try multiple authentication sources?
2022-08-19 14:46:55,112+10 WARN [org.keycloak.events] (default task-12) []

So how do I set up the engine to allow me to select the Profile to use on the login
screen?

I have tried using LDAP email addresses,
12:13 p.m.
If you followed an older guide, what you've probably done is setup the
deprecated aaa plugin. New installations use keycloak by default, which
has it's own setup method for integrating an LDAP authentication
source.
It is possible to use the older plugin system, but it won't be
supported moving forward and is liable to be removed entirely. I can't
recommend it's use.
There is a link to a guide on configuring keycloak integration on the
mailing list:
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/UMG3BB5I4T5...
That being said, it's probably possible to enable the deprecated
interface on a new installation, but I'm not sure how to do it. You
might get an idea or two from the link above however. (The external
keycloak guide.)
As for the other interfaces, there was a comment a while ago about how
email addresses can wind up looking weird with keycloak integration.
Specifically, if a user's email address is used ( bob(a)example.com ) it
can require having the auth source appended ( bob@example.com(a)example-
authz ) during login for it to work. You might want to give that a try
first.

Patrick,
Thank you for that. I was missing that link in my understanding of the platform, a lot
more makes sense now that I get the current online documentation isn't up to the oVirt
4.5.2 implementation.
I have removed the AAA solution and now working through setting it up with Keycloak using
native documentation from that project.
