When looking at OpenLDAP before I remember the issue was that we didn't have any standard schema to work with, that had all the different attributes we need. Currently, we require to authenticate to a Kerberos server. Also, the configuration of the different provider queries is done inside the source code, and not configured externally. So, IMO the best way to add a new OpenLDAP provider is first to externalize this configuration, so that anyone can tweak it out according to his schema. I hope the wiki pages above can give a clue on the infrastructure, but we would be more than happy to help guiding you about that. The relevant people are Yair Zaslavsky (yzasl...@redhat.com), and Roy Golan (rgo...@redhat.com), and myself, which did the latest work on this infrastructure, so we would be more than happy to help on IRC, E-mails, phone calls, and etc. Another relevant mailing list is engine-de...@ovirt.org, where most engine developers are, so that's the best place to get guidance regarding git, gerrit, java, and every development matter.
