Hi!
There are a few new features in this linstor release and I will highlight
the most important ones here:
* Search domain for nodes
If you have registered your linstor satellites with the FQDN you can now
set the
new controller property `SearchDomain` with your common domain part and than
you only have to use your subdomain part for commands.
* File based storage pools (loop devices)
We have a new storage pool types `file` and `file-thin` that uses files as
loop devices (via losetup), that support all of our Linstor features.
* HTTPS for REST-API
The REST-API can now be access through HTTPS if configured and all requests
to HTTP will than return a redirect to the HTTPS address.
To setup HTTPS you have to create a java keystore file[1] with a valid
certificate and
configure the `[https]` section in `/etc/linstor/linstor.toml` file.
```
[https]
keystore = "/etc/linstor/keystore_server.jks"
keystore_password = "linstor"
```
* Basic LDAP support
Linstor has now support for basic LDAP authentication, this means you can
configure a LDAP server and a search_filter and allow only members of a
certain group access to Linstor.
A requirement for LDAP is authentication support is that you have
configured Linstor with HTTPS.
Here is a sample config entry in our new `/etc/linstor/linstor.toml` config
file:
```
[ldap]
enabled = true
uri = "ldaps://ldap.example.com"
dn = "uid={user},ou=users,o=ha,dc=example"
search_base = "dc=example"
search_filter =
"(&(uid={user})(memberof=cn=linstor,ou=services,o=ha,dc=example))"
```
The `{user}` template variable will be replaced with the login user.
* External meta-data support for DRBD
Before creating the resource just set the new `StorPoolNameDrbdMeta`
property on the resource-definition or volume-definition for the storage
pool you want to use for external meta-data.
* New TOML based configuration file
The current `/etc/linstor/database.cfg` should automatically migrated to
the new `/etc/linstor/linstor.toml` file.
Here is the more detailed changelog:
