Active Directory Integration with Vintela

[Christopher Ponzi]

I haven't found any information on integration with MS Active Directory.  I use Vintela on Linux systems to authenticate with my AD servers.  If I were to have a large Docker server, would I configure Vintela on the host system or could it be set up inside of each container?  I'll need to maintain control over my user groups.  Users will only be able to access specific containers using their AD credentials and not needing to have any special configurations on their systems (this includes special accounts or certificates to access containers).

Thank you

Hi Yaemish,

Could you describe more about what you expect users to do with containers, and what restrictions you'd like to put on them?

Are you trying to control who can run and configure the containers themselves, or are you trying to control who can access the containers at all?

Controlling who can configure and run containers could be done by proxying the Docker daemon's remote API and adding authentication and authorization to that proxy. Controlling access to individual containers is trickier and it would help if I understood what you wanted to control.

Typically I don't think of containers as something users have accounts "in", and so the idea of needing to manage a lot of user groups is pretty foreign to me.
