If i see all the discussion about ovirt,dns,kerberos,ldap,freeipa.
This are information about networks, hostnames, users and security and  
to manage them it's practicale to have a ovirt-identity-node.rpm as  
kvm guest.
This node helps to organise and manage other framworks for everything  
it has todo with users, tickets and certificates.

To use ovirt, its required to start first ovirt-identity-node to have  
kerberos tickets and users.
Other tools, services and frameworks in this cloude use the same  
identityinformation.

It can be possible to go this way, if we create on ovirt a new user,  
ovirt is able to request this on the identity node.
This node self is directly viewable in ovirt if this ovirt user has  
enough permission.
And the identity node can have the own locale small rails application  
for create users and groups in general.

What you think about this?
