Call for feedback: Seamless Single Sign On with Cockpit

[Marius Vollmer]

Hi,

I have been learning about how to intergrate Cockpit with management
systems like ManageIQ, oVirt, and Foreman.

Such integration already exists for ManageIQ and oVirt, but the one for
Foreman isn't as seamless as the rest.  So I have been digging through
the code and asked around, and produced this:

https://github.com/mvollmer/seamless-cockpit/

This should be the starting point for improving the seamlessness of
Cockpit in Foreman, and maybe for other such integrations.

If you are interested, it would be great if you could have a look and
try to run the code.  There are likely a lot of details that work for me
but not for everyone.  Any feedback is welcome!

Thanks!

Very cool. Do you have a demo working with SSH keys? That would make it
much clearer how different kinds of credentials could be passed.

Also, do you feeling for what kind of credentials you'd choose to pass
Foreman/Satellite?
