--- upgrade: - | The ``nova-consoleauth`` service has been deprecated and new consoles will have their token authorizations stored in cell databases, in addition to the ``nova-consoleauth`` service backend, in Rocky. With this, console proxies are required to be deployed per cell. All existing consoles will be reset. For most operators, this should be a minimal disruption as the default TTL of a console token is 10 minutes. Operators that have configured a much longer token TTL or otherwise wish to avoid immediately resetting all existing consoles can use the new configuration option ``[workarounds]/enable_consoleauth`` to fall back on the ``nova-consoleauth`` service for locating existing console authorizations. The option defaults to False. Once all of the existing consoles have naturally expired, operators may unset the configuration option. For example, if a deployment has configured a token TTL of one hour, the operator may disable the ``[workarounds]/enable_consoleauth`` option, one hour after deploying the new code. .. note:: Cells v1 was not converted to use the database backend for console token authorizations. Cells v1 console token authorizations will continue to be supported by the ``nova-consoleauth`` service and use of the ``[workarounds]/enable_consoleauth`` option does not apply to Cells v1 users.
