This is a client for the OpenStack Identity API, implemented by Keystone.
There's a Python API (the keystoneclient
module), and a command-line script
(keystone
).
Development takes place via the usual OpenStack processes as outlined in the `OpenStack wiki`_. The master repository is on GitHub__.
This code a fork of `Rackspace's python-novaclient`__ which is in turn a fork of `Jacobian's python-cloudservers`__. The python-keystoneclient is licensed under the Apache License like the rest of OpenStack.

By way of a quick-start:
# use v2.0 auth with http://example.com:5000/v2.0 >>> from keystoneclient.v2_0 import client >>> keystone = client.Client(username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD, tenant_name=TENANT, auth_url=AUTH_URL) >>> keystone.tenants.list() >>> tenant = keystone.tenants.create(tenant_name="test", description="My new tenant!", enabled=True) >>> tenant.delete()
Installing this package gets you a shell command, keystone
, that you can
use to interact with OpenStack's Identity API.
You'll need to provide your OpenStack tenant, username and password. You can do
this with the --os-tenant-name
, --os-username
and --os-password
params, but it's easier to just set them as environment variables:
export OS_TENANT_NAME=project export OS_USERNAME=user export OS_PASSWORD=pass
You will also need to define the authentication url with --os-auth-url
and
the version of the API with --os-identity-api-version
. Or set them as an
environment variables as well:
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://example.com:5000/v2.0 export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=2.0
Alternatively, to bypass username/password authentication, you can provide a
pre-established token. In Keystone, this approach is necessary to bootstrap the
service with an administrative user, tenant & role (to do so, provide the
client with the value of your admin_token
defined in keystone.conf
in
addition to the URL of your admin API deployment, typically on port 35357):
export OS_SERVICE_TOKEN=thequickbrownfox-jumpsover-thelazydog export OS_SERVICE_ENDPOINT=http://example.com:35357/v2.0
Since the Identity service can return multiple regions in the service catalog,
you can specify the one you want with --os-region-name
(or export
OS_REGION_NAME
):
export OS_REGION_NAME=north
Warning
If a region is not specified and multiple regions are returned by the Identity service, the client may not access the same region consistently.
If you need to connect to a server that is TLS-enabled (the auth URL begins
with 'https') and it uses a certificate from a private CA or a self-signed
certificate you will need to specify the path to an appropriate CA certificate
to use to validate the server certificate with --os-cacert
or an
environment variable:
export OS_CACERT=/etc/ssl/my-root-cert.pem
Certificate verification can be turned off using --insecure
. This should
be used with caution.
