Talk:Getting started with OpenStack Nova

Updates for Fedora 17 / OpenStack >= Essex-4

Configuring keystone for authentication

Keystone is the openstack identity service, providing a central place to set up openstack users, groups, and accounts that can be shared across all other services. This deprecates the old style user accounts manually set up with nova-manage.

Setting up keystone is required for using the Openstack dashboard.

Initial setup

• install Keystone

$> sudo yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing openstack-keystone python-keystoneclient

Should get installed:

python-keystoneclient >= 2012.1-0.5.e4
openstack-keystone >= 2012.1-0.9.e4

• configure Keystone database

$> sudo openstack-keystone-db-setup
Please enter the password for the 'root' MySQL user: 
Verified connectivity to MySQL.
Creating 'keystone' database.
Asking openstack-keystone to sync the databse.
Complete!

• change default administrative token in keystone.conf

$> ADMIN_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 10)
$> sudo openstack-config-set /etc/keystone/keystone.conf DEFAULT admin_token $ADMIN_TOKEN

• start and enable Keystone service

$> sudo systemctl start openstack-keystone.service
$> sudo systemctl enable openstack-keystone.service

• create sample Tenants, Users and Roles

$> sudo ADMIN_PASSWORD=verybadpass openstack-keystone-sample-data

• test Keystone CLI is working

export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_PASSWORD=verybadpass
export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/

Configure nova to use keystone

• Change nova configuration to use keystone:

$> sudo sed -i -e 's/# \(pipeline = .*\keystonecontext\)/\1/g' /etc/nova/api-paste.ini
$> sudo openstack-config-set /etc/nova/api-paste.ini filter:authtoken admin_token $ADMIN_TOKEN
$> sudo systemctl restart openstack-nova-api.service

• Verify that nova can talk with keystone (required variable exports from keystone section)

$> nova --version 1.1 flavor-list
+----+-----------+-----------+------+----------+-------+-------------+
| ID |    Name   | Memory_MB | Swap | Local_GB | VCPUs | RXTX_Factor |
+----+-----------+-----------+------+----------+-------+-------------+
| 1  | m1.tiny   | 512       |      | 0        | 1     | 1.0         |
| 2  | m1.small  | 2048      |      | 10       | 1     | 1.0         |
| 3  | m1.medium | 4096      |      | 10       | 2     | 1.0         |

Configure glance to use keystone

• Tell keystone about the glance service

$> cat << EOF | sudo tee -a /etc/keystone/default_catalog.templates                                                       
catalog.RegionOne.image.publicURL = http://localhost:9292/v1
catalog.RegionOne.image.adminURL = http://localhost:9292/v1
catalog.RegionOne.image.internalURL = http://localhost:9292/v1
catalog.RegionOne.image.name = 'Image Service'
EOF
$> sudo systemctl restart openstack-keystone

• Change glance configuration to use keystone:

$> echo -e "\nw[paste_deploy]\nflavor = keystone" | sudo tee -a /etc/glance/glance-api.conf
$> echo -e "\nw[paste_deploy]\nflavor = keystone" | sudo tee -a /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf
$> sudo openstack-config-set /etc/glance/glance-api-paste.ini filter:authtoken admin_token $ADMIN_TOKEN
$> sudo openstack-config-set /etc/glance/glance-registry-paste.ini filter:authtoken admin_token $ADMIN_TOKEN
$> sudo systemctl restart openstack-glance-api.service
$> sudo systemctl restart openstack-registry-api.service

• Verify that glance can talk with keystone (required variable exports from keystone section)

$> glance index
