I agree, it would be configuration, but I imagine people like me (no comment
there) go over the installation guide, it works and then you onehost list
and boom, there is a ONE_AUTH error and... how? what? where?  Maybe you
could add just a small notice about it and a link pointing to the
configuration page? In any case, its not for me, I get it already, just for
other new users that may run into the same problem.

Umm, that would not make sense, would it? As I understand it, I control
opennebula from a shell, from a user, already. Like that, it would be like
me (sven) entering in a shell as user sven, and then access onehost, but if
my co-worker eduard wants to access it, he would access it from my shell as
well? No, he would also have his own account to access that server in the
first place, and with that there is already a user for him, no?

Not sure if I make sense here, but well.. It'd be very nice if (in a future
version?) I could have opennebula just follow the current shell user. If I
(Sven) access opennebula, I can only modify VMs created by user sven and if
Eduard accesses it, he can only access his servers..

Cheers!
