I have a suggestion about LDAP authentication documentation. The LDAP
authentication driver has a bug as mentioned here [1]. The bug report link
in the documentation is useful, but it would be better if 'auth_method' in
the documentation can be corrected as well. Currently the documentation
describes auth_method as 'Can be set to :simple_tls if ssl connection is
needed', which is erroneous and somewhat confusing. I think it should be
updated with auth_method description and correct options like simple,
anonymous, sasl etc.

2. http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.6:ldap

I have fixed it in the documentation. Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the update, but I think it still needs to be fixed related to auth_method description.

I think simple_tls is a valid option for encryption method and not auth method. So it's not a bug<http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/1171> with simple_tls auth method. The auth_method simple_tls will give 'Unsupported auth method' exception even after the proposed bug fix is applied [1].
