Hello again! I solved the other problem. I was expecting that the user should be asked to give a password when logging in to OpenNebula through the oneadmin-account, but apparently this wasn't the case. I succeed to login as another user through the oneadmin-account.
Could you give me any ideas of what's the best way to implement this (I am doing a bachelor's thesis) [I know how to implement most of the below and I will ask specifically after the following paragraphs what I need help with. Problem description that I have written): ICT at Royal Institute of Technology [KTH]- a university of Stockholm in > Sweden - have 16 computers that they are not using, which they bought from > PDC at KTH couple of years ago. One of the goals is to install OpenNebula > [explained below] on them all, with one of the computers being the front > end. I call this cluster of nodes Cloudelia. > > The system should follow the following requirements: > In this system we have administrators and ordinary users (‘user’). The > administrators have the right to grant other KTH users the privilege to > become administrators. In order for a user to use the system, authentication > needs to be done to ensure that it has a KTH-account. When an administrator > sees an get permission-request from an user and is deciding on whether to > approve the user or not, it must be able to rely on than an > authentication-mechanism ensures that the user really is the user with the > specific KTH-user name shown in the interface. This ensures that any user > outside of KTH with an intent to use Cloudelia in a malicious way doesn’t > get access to the system. > > An administrator is presented with information of all KTH-users that have > requested and are waiting for to get permission to use OpenNebula for a > certain course. The administrator can grant permission to any number of > these users at a time, and upon granting permission these users will get > access to Cloudelia as Open Nebula-’regular users’ [explained below] using > the login details they provided upon requesting permission to Cloudelia. An > administrator can see a list of all the users of a certain course and can > change the permission rights of an user. > > The described procedure of handling the accounts reduces the work load of > the administratiors. One advantage is that they don’t need to set up > accounts for each user one at a time, by manually assigning them user names, > passwords and entering the commands required in OpenNebula for creating an > Open Nebula-regular user. > [More information of my proposed solution is found here: > Link<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y6X2jUlQR2Uwf-3G7Zk2C9Y8ERgA-EddwBvKpRbnBZI/edit?hl=en#> > ] > * More specifically I wonder how to solve this:* When the administrator has approved a student to get permission to access the cloud, and his/her OpenNebula account including password has been created: How should the student access the cloud? Could you suggest to me a safe way that can handle multiple users at the same time? The cloud stands in a server hall, so the user should access the cloud through some remote access. How do I allow the user to get access to the cloud when he/she provides his/her username and password. What kind of interface for the user to provide his/her username and password is the smoothest solution? Many users will access the cloud at the same time.
