This is a client for the OpenStack Keystone API. There's a Python API (the
keystoneclient
module), and a command-line script (keystone
). The
Keystone 2.0 API is still a moving target, so this module will remain in
"Beta" status until the API is finalized and fully implemented.
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=KEYSTONE_URL) >>> keystone.tenants.list() >>> tenant = keystone.tenants.create(name="test", descrption="My new tenant!", enabled=True) >>> tenant.delete()
Installing this package gets you a shell command, keystone
, that you
can use to interact with Keystone's Identity API.
You'll need to provide your OpenStack tenant, username and password. You can do this
with the tenant_name
, --username
and --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 --auth_url
and the
version of the API with --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 authenticate to Keystone without a username/password,
such as when there are no users in the database yet, use the service
token and endpoint arguemnts. The service token is set in keystone.conf as
admin_token
; set it with service_token
. Note: keep the service token
secret as it allows total access to Keystone's database. The admin endpoint is set
with --endpoint
or SERVICE_ENDPOINT
:
export SERVICE_TOKEN=thequickbrownfox-jumpsover-thelazydog export SERVICE_ENDPOINT=http://example.com:35357/v2.0
Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you
can specify the one you want with --region_name
(or
export OS_REGION_NAME
). It defaults to the first in the list returned.
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running
keystone help
