Hi,

It should read the token generated by 'oneuser login' and keep working
as usual.

Sorry, I do not get you. The Client class in Java OCA wants an user name and a secret in version 2 and also in version 3 if I am not wrong.

So, how does authentication work when I use that such a Client instance to contact OpenNebula from within a Java program ?

The Java Program shells out oneuser ? And with which credentials ?

Or may I have both base authentication and, say LDAP ? It seems I can't have both base and X509 based authentication if I got well the docs from release 3.

I am asking these questions because I am working on an OCCI front end that accepts OVF messages and uses OCA to contact OpenNebula, acting as a sort of translator OVF->Template.

Now we are building the authentication part. The OCCI front end uses certificates based authentication when receiving an user request, and then it must authenticate itself in OpenNebula with an identity matching that of the user that did the original request.

Cutting out any other access to OpenNebula rather than this OCCI front-end could solve the problem easily, but if I want to let some users access to the cloud through Sunstone the original solution does not work well...


Regards.

    Hello gentlemen!

    JAVA OCA Client object relies  on the user/secret authentication. What
    happens to OCA  when one turns on an external  mean of authentication,
    maybe certificates or LDAP?
