[openstack-dev] Regarding Multi-Factor Authentication

2017-10-12 Thread Puneet Jain
Hi All,

The OpenStack login screen has just login name and password for validation.
Now, if someone writes a script to perform DoS attacks by sending a lot of
fake login requests, the server will easily become unavailable.

I know there is a section in the security page which talks about
multi-factor authentication. However, each organization has to implement
this at their own (Correct me if I am wrong here).

Questions

Is there any property based solution to provide multifactor authentication?
Like, the multi-factor implementation would be a part of OpenStack
installation but would be unavailable by default and if an organization
enables that property, they will have the multifactor authentication
enabled.

I apologize if my question is very basic. I am quite new to OpenStack.

[openstack-dev] What logical clock does OpenStack use

2017-10-10 Thread Puneet Jain
Hi,

I was just curious to know, how the event ordering happens in OpenStack?
What clock does it use? I mean does it use Lamport Logical Clock?

[openstack-dev] Project Ideas for Graduate Student

2017-10-05 Thread Puneet Jain
Hello all,

I am a graduate student and have intermediate knowledge and huge in cloud
computing. I am looking for a project idea, particularly any new feature I
can implement in OpenStack.

I thought of implementing multi-factor authentication but happened to know
that it has already been implemented.
https://docs.openstack.org/security-guide/identity/authentication.html

I would prefer to do something in security. Any ideas?

Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks in advance!
