Don't think too much about it :) Redis is being entirely removed. > The default configuration is Redis based, but from a classic system > administrator perspective, OpenLDAP is much more mature and I know > about it, but Redis is new, looks sexy, but I don't know if it's worth > to use it instead of OpenLDAP. OK, so right now there is a FakeLDAP driver that uses Redis to store LDAP DNs. This is being rewritten to remove the Redis dependency. The real LDAPdriver in /nova/auth/ldapdriver.py uses the plain old python-ldap module to connect to a real LDAP store. Whether you use OpenLDAP or some other LDAP driver under the covers is completely up to you. :) > Thinking in the long term, can you give some hints about the roadmap > of Nova and if I should go with Redis instead of OpenLDAP? See above. It's not about Redis vs. OpenLDAP. :) AFAIK, Nova uses slapd (the OpenLDAP LDAP daemon) as the default LDAP daemon if you don't use the "faked" LDAP driver. -jay _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
