Description Steve Goodman 2021-10-11 15:59:00 UTC 
Bug 1976799 deals with SSO for Windows VMs. This bug deals with SSO for Linux VMs.

It was possible to log in to Linux VMs using the same SSO provider and credentials as used by RHVM.

This support is removed for Windows VMs, and is no longer supported for Linux VMs.

The deprecation notice says that we provide support for VMs runnign RHEL 7 and earlier. Change this to say that we don't support those machines.

Remove the following content from the VMM Guide, which discusses SSO support:

In "Table 2.2. Red Hat Virtualization Guest agents and tools":
The last row, which begins `rhev-sso`

4.2.2. Configuring Single Sign-On for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtual Machines Using Active Directory

This is specifically about the SSO functionality - RHEL 7 is still a supported guest OS on RHV 4.4
In my opinion, it would be better to be more accurate about what "supported" means here so users won't avoid upgrading to 4.4 due to what might be considered as a backward incompatible change / be surprised to see that it still work on RHV 4.4 for their RHEL < 8 guests

Yes, you're right, I mean that we don't provide *SSO* support for VMs running Enterprise Linux 7 or earlier.(In reply to Arik from comment #1)
