Thanks for the info, David. Yes, it sounds like the VO roles code would be useful for us to authorize the user to a project, which would simplify things for us to not have to make an explicit call from a script to add the role for the user. On 1/20/15, 10:54 AM, "David Chadwick" wrote: >Hi Brad

Hi Brad in your scenario the users are already registered - in your corporate LDAP. So this is not too dissimilar to the federation case, where the users are already registered in a remote IDP. You get the user to present his LDAP credentials, which are validated by LDAP. Federation gets the user

At Symantec, we provide a simple signup button on the Horizon login page for self registration. Our goal is to not only make it easy for the user to register but to also set up some basic things to make it easy for them to start using OpenStack services. We don't use federated Keystone, so users

Hi Enrique You are right in that we have been addressing different problems. There are three aspects to managing users: registration, assigning authentication credentials, and assigning authorisation credentials. You appear to be primarily concerned with the first two. I have only concentrated on

The VO code exists already, as does a public demo (see my original email for details). I gave demos to the Keystone core in Paris last November. How soon this gets incorporated into core depends upon public/user demand. So far, it seems that few people have recognised the value of this service, pro

Hello David, We are definitely assessing the option, although even switching Keystone to be backed by an LDAP service might also work, and not be a switch to a fully federated system. I believe Keystone has had LDAP support since Havana, and that was an option we had looked at. It also might be a

Hi Adrian Morgan is right in saying that an external IdP would solve many of your user management problems, but then of course, you will be using federated keystone which you seem reluctant to do :-) However, if you have an IdP under your full control then you can allow users to self register and

Hello everyone, Thanks for the info and the feedback. Looking at our current situation, it seems unlikely we are to be switching to a federated Keystone. Is the preferred approach these days to use a federated Keystone? What we'd like to do is ideally have this service work using the Keystone AP
