Description Anitha Udgiri 2015-03-12 21:41:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

Quoting doc directly:
-----
Copy the LDAP configuration template file into the /etc/ovirt-engine directory. Template files are available for simple or advanced configuration. This example uses the simple configuration template.

# cp -r /usr/share/ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap/examples/simple /etc/ovirt-engine
-----

So, to exactly mimic that example with the AD folder instead:

[root@rhevm-remote ~]# cp -r /usr/share/ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap/examples/ad /etc/ovirt-engine
cp: overwrite `/etc/ovirt-engine/ad/aaa/profile1.properties'?

It's already there, because the sample instruction copies the "simple" folder (and in my case the AD folder) *and* its contents into /etc/ovirt-engine, which you're saying won't work.

Similar to your instruction, the original doc should actually be this (except with 'simple' instead of 'ad'):

cp -r /usr/share/ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap/examples/ad/. /etc/ovirt-engine
Comment 1 Alon Bar-Lev 2015-03-12 21:57:17 UTC 
I think we fixed that.

But please do suggest to users to use:

 /usr/share/doc/ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap/README

It will always be in better shape.
