oVirt Blog
I have a environment where hard coded password are avoided. We prefer to use Kerberos. We also provided a SSO for Web UI using CAS. We use ActiveDirectory for users backend.
So I wanted a oVirt installation that will use kerberos for API authentication. For the web UI, Kerberos is not always the best solution, so I wanted to integrated it in our CAS.
The Apache part was easy to setup. It needs an external module, auth_cas_module, that can be found at Apache’s CAS module. It builds without special tweaks with
./configure
make
make install
I will […]
In November, version 3.6 of oVirt, the open source virtualization management system, hit FTP mirrors featuring a whole slate of fixes and enhancements, including support for storing oVirt’s self hosted management engine on a Gluster volume.
This expanded Gluster support, along with the new “arbiter volume” feature added in Gluster 3.7, has allowed me to simplify (somewhat) the converged oVirt+Gluster installation that’s powered my test lab for the past few years.
Read on to learn about my favored way of running oVirt, using a trio of servers to provide for the system’s virtualization and storage needs, in a […]
On the first weekend of February I had the pleasure of attending DevConf.CZ 2016, which took place in the wonderful city of Brno, Czech Republic.
It’s a relaxed, young, and vibrant conference and it was fun and rewarding from my perspective.
Here’s a disorganized personal summary…
Met many community members from all over Europe. Was excited to see so many happy users of the project!
Attended in-depth look of virtual machine migration algorithms – Marcelo Tosatti. I hope to see some of it in coming versions of QEMU, while we work on other improvements […]
As part of our efforts to upgrade the ovirt.org website and improve the community experience, we migrated the oVirt website from a MediaWiki site to a static site, authored in Markdown and published with Middleman. This was a major project that took more than 6 months and involved many contributors from all aspects of the project.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who were involved with this migration, from content reviewers to UX designers and Website admins who gave their time and brain power to make this happen.
The old MediaWiki site is […]
