As well as Katello -> Conductor and Conductor -> Katello.
Sorry if I'm jumping into the discussion a little late but why are all
these services authenticating against each other?
For that matter why do we store any authentication details in the db?
Why not setup a single central LDAP server and have everything
authenticate against that, eg conductor, katello, candlepin, pulp, etc.
This may just be my opinion but I feel we replicate way too much data w/
aeolus, LDAP is meant for high performance authentication, and is simple
to setup and use.
