Requested in: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/74888/30/packaging/setup/plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine/network/ovirtproviderovn.py@321 I'd rather not edit in-place if possible. Two other options: 1. If the user is not expected to edit this manually, read it from a template, and have a comment saying the file should not be edited manually 2. Better make the provider read all files from some directory, e.g. /etc/ovirt-provider-ovn/ovirt-provider-ovn.conf.d/*.conf, so that you can overwrite your file there, and users can add their own file, similarly to e.g. the engine
Verified on version: 4.2.0-0.0.master.20170612192318.gitf773263.el7.centos I have created 3 files under /etc/ovirt-provider-ovn/conf.d: 01-test.conf, 02-test.conf and a-test.conf, and altered the default 'http-enabled' and 'ssl-key-file', 'ssl-cert-file', 'ssl-cacert-file' settings under SSL section, taking into consideration the order of config files (01 then 02 then a). It overwrites the default values with the value set on the last file in order.
