Authentication
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Each HTTP request against the OpenStack Compute system requires the
|
|
inclusion of specific authentication credentials. A single deployment
|
|
may support multiple authentication schemes (OAuth, Basic Auth, Token).
|
|
The authentication scheme is provided by the OpenStack Identity service.
|
|
You can contact your provider to determine the best way to authenticate against
|
|
the Compute API.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Some authentication schemes may require that the API operate using
|
|
SSL over HTTP (HTTPS).
