Hi All, My name is Ian Duffy and I will be working on the the project titled "LDAP User provisioning". I am a Computer Science Student at Dublin City University in Ireland. I have interests in virtualization, automation, information systems, networking and web development.
The aim of my project, as stated in my proposal is to provide a 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 to be automatically setup using their LDAP credentials. The full proposal can be seen here: http://ianduffy.ie/cloudstack-ldap.pdf JIRA entry: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2014 Wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/LDAP+user+provisioning+in+cloudstack I have connected my BNC to #gsoc, #cloudstack and #cloudstack-dev under the nickname of imduffy15, so it should I should be there 24/7. I have added both Sebastien and Abhi on Skype, if anybody else wishes to connect on skype my username is duffyi3. I have registered accounts on JIRA, review board and the wiki under the username imduffy15. Look forward to working with you! Ian
