Description Paul Armstrong 2016-10-17 15:04:59 UTC
Description of problem:
SSO configuration documentation incorrectly specifies using: 

ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engineextensions.aaa.ldap.AuthnExtension 

in the authn properties when trying to SSO
value should be

ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engineextensions.aaa.misc.http.AuthnExtension


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.6.x

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow directions at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.6/html/Administration_Guide/Configuring_LDAP_and_Kerberos_for_Single_Sign-on.html
 
OR

2. Follow directions at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/paged/administration-guide/154-configuring-ldap-and-kerberos-for-single-sign-on


Actual results:
Neither work. User authenticated by IdM is not logged in. There is no error message in any of the logs!

Expected results:
User is logged in correctly...

Additional info:
Changing the authn configuration to use

ovirt.engine.extension.binding.jbossmodule.class = org.ovirt.engineextensions.aaa.misc.http.AuthnExtension

corrects the SSO login issue.

Additionally, there should be a way to automatically add the user REALM to the browser drop down to support systems where SSO is not enabled in the browser. Understandable that this may be a corner case requirement, but adding it here for completeness. No mention of the http-mapping file configuration is mentioned. Also the engine throws a whole tonne of Rewrite recursion errors in the http logs ... this can be resolved by adding RewriteBase / in the ovirt-sso.conf file.
