Project Aims:

The aim of this project is to provide an more effective mechanism to provision users from LDAP into cloudstack. Currently cloudstack enables LDAP authentication. In this authentication users must be first setup in cloudstack. Once the user is setup in cloudstack they can authenticate using their ldap username and password. This project will improve Cloudstack LDAP integration by enabling users be setup automatically using their LDAP credentials.

A detailed version of the proposal is available at: http://ianduffy.ie/cloudstack-ldap.pdf

Introduction

Within the community bonding period learning was focused on how to do things "The apache way". This required getting used to communication over the mailing list, becoming equated with our mentor, learning to use git, adding documentation to the project and finally creating a patch that was submitted to the review board.

During this stage I did a lot of research. I setup my cloudstack development environment and investigated the current LDAP implementation within Cloudstack.

Midterm review

Will be updated shortly.
