This method was included in OpenNebula for scenarios such as an Apache server configured to use x509 certificates, Apache has already authenticated the user and we just encrypt a token with the serveradmin credentials and OpenNebula will decrypt the token and will perform all the actions as the target_username.<br>
<br>Users using the server_* auth method are special users and should not have any resource.<br><br>You can see an example on how Sunstone uses this method:<br>A user logs in:<br><a href="https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/sunstone/sunstone-server.rb#L169">https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/sunstone/sunstone-server.rb#L169</a><div>
do_auth is called to authenticate the user:<br><a href="https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/cloud/common/CloudAuth/SunstoneCloudAuth.rb#L18">https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/cloud/common/CloudAuth/SunstoneCloudAuth.rb#L18</a></div>
<div>a token is generated using the server_* method<br><a href="https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/authm_mad/remotes/server_cipher/server_cipher_auth.rb#L85">https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/authm_mad/remotes/server_cipher/server_cipher_auth.rb#L85</a></div>
<div>this info is sent to one and then checked by the auth driver:<br><a href="https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/authm_mad/remotes/server_cipher/server_cipher_auth.rb#L110">https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/authm_mad/remotes/server_cipher/server_cipher_auth.rb#L110</a></div>
