Hi Abhi and All, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/LDAP+implementation+improvement+and+user+provisioning
I have updated the LDAP page within the wiki as requested. If anybody has feedback I would love to hear it both on a functionality approach and on the security concerns purpose. The code is available in the 'ldapplugin' branch. (I tried to compile it earlier but it failed due to a fault with some other plugin, I have put in a request for the branch to be updated against master. This should fix that) Docbook based documentation is supplied within the master branch. For those of you wanting to test but not bring up an LDAP server you can use the embedded ApacheDS which is there for integration tests. This can be launched by running mvn -pl :cloud-plugin-user-authenticator-ldap ldap:run Along with this I have continued to update my JIRA post to include stories of tasks I hope to get done: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2014 ========================================================================================= At the moment I'm trying to get a handle on some of the quirky UI stuff. I'm looking at the zones wizard as an example, it appears to show case the custom UI the best. As outlined in my GSoC proposal ( http://ianduffy.ie/cloudstack-ldap.pdf ) I said I would add a table of LDAP users, you select your user and then fill in the required information that wouldn't be supplied by LDAP. For those of you who prefer a more graphical view here's a rough wireframe: http://ianduffy.ie/mockup.png Again if somebody can offer some guidance here I would appreciate it greatly. I'm struggling to figure out how to enable/disable/swap-in/swap-out different UI views based on configuration given. Thanks! Ian
