[Ovirt-devel] ovirt and freeipa

So if we have an organization that, for any reason, cannot run freeipa.
They cannot use ovirt.  Freeipa is a false requirement for cloud and
virtualization.

The web frontend already uses basic auth, by doing this it makes it easy
to swap auth out with many of the apache mod_auth modules allowing people
to pick whatever auth mechanism they want.

Use case:

1) Admin uses mod_auth_postgres
2) User exists in postgres logs in to ovirtwui
3) ovirt creates the user if it doesn't exist
4) admin can then create permissions and things for the user

How hard would it to be the above?
