[one-ecosystem] Steps for implementing authentication driver

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi,

Here are some quick comments to get you started:

- For general information about the authentication mechanism in OpenNebula,
visit [1].
- Use an existing OpenNebula installation, you don't need to clone the
repository.
- The auth drivers are located in /var/lib/one/remotes/auth/. To create a
new one, copy one of the existing dirs (e.g. plain), and add that new
directory name to your oned.conf AUTH_MAD attribute. OpenNebula needs to be
restarted to read the new conf.
- Take the existing drivers as an example, but ignore the server_ ones,
those are used by Sunstone and the other servers to operate with special
"proxy" users.
- Even though the existing drivers are in ruby, they are stand-alone
scripts and could be in any language.

Regards
