Introduction

Tthe The current LDAP plugin implementation ties the full CloudStack infrastructure to a LDAP (OU) and creates an CloudStack account for every UID found. A user might want to have a customer create it's own ldap tree and/or add users to a shared account. Thus a user (i.e. domain admin) would be able to organise access to CloudStack using the OU/UID in their ldap.

In this feature multi tenancy is created and account to LDAP group binding. as a result each domain can have their own LDAP implementation and can define accounts for certain purposes, managing those accounts in their LDAP server.

Purpose

The purpose of the document to specify the functionality of the domain level binding to an LDAP tree, allowing per customer administration.

...

A moveUser API will be added in favour of extending updateUser API for security, as users have access to updateUser API.
