Thanks to Tim Hildred, I found out about the need to have a directory
server.  Before I embark on this path, I thought I could ping the
community to get a since for what is common, easy, and/or available to
best suit our wants.

First, what's the easiest one to setup and use?  Something with a simple
GUI would be desirable: a webmin module perhaps?

Most ideal would be something that is in line with our desire to move
towards single sign on, ultimately authenticating against Google Apps.
Does Google provide something supported?  Is there something that can
proxy google apps auth to an oVirt supported protocol?

Alternately, we have an LDAP server, but it does NOT store passwords,
and as such, does not provide authentication for anything.  Will oVirt
store passwords for users created from such an LDAP service, or does
LDAP need to be the authority as well?

Currently oVirt code has SIMPLE and Kerberos authentication.
Queries that are not RootDSE queries must be authenticated.


Finally, we also have NIS setup (thought we hope to get away from that
soon), so some means of authenticating through the systems local PAM
system would be the next most convenient.

These are just thoughts and I am completely open to suggestions.  Thanks
in advance for any input! =)

in the future, well, everything is possible. for now, your choices are:
freeIPA/IPA
389ds/RHDS
MS AD
Tivoli DS

ovirt does not store passwords (other than for admin@internal)
