Hello all, I'm Yair Zaslavsky, A senior Sw Engineer at Red-Hat, working on oVirt open source projects. I would like to present two presentations which deal with the work that we've done around AAA and plugins architecture for oVirt 3.5. Here are the details: Type of submission: Presentation Title: AAA in oVirt 3.5 Abstract: The AAA (Authentication, Authorizaion, Accounting) mechanism and methologdy was changed at oVirt 3.5. From hard coded support for various ldap vendors , all require Kerberos authentication a shift was made to a pluggable architecture, where there is a clear seperation between authentication, authorization and accounting providers. Instead of keeping configurations in the database, the configuration is now kept in easily editable config file. The presentation will deal with the changes made and will introduce the oVirt extensions API , which can be further used with other pluggable modules (i.e logging). Speaker bio: Yair Zaslavsky is oVirt engine co-maintainer, and is a Senior SW Engineer at the SW infrasturcture group of RHEV. Yair mainly dealt with issues around AAA since he first started working for Red-Hat more than 4 years ago.

We had several discussions and dilemmas around which plugin infrasturcture to use and eventually, we developed our own plugin infrastructue framework. The plugin infastructure framework can be used with other projects, autonmously of oVirt. In the presentation we will talk about the design considerations and usage of the plugin infrastructure.
