melanie witt 48150a6fba Enable use of service user token with admin context
When the [service_user] section is configured in nova.conf, nova will
have the ability to send a service user token alongside the user's
token. The service user token is sent when nova calls other services'
REST APIs to authenticate as a service, and service calls can sometimes
have elevated privileges.

Currently, nova does not however have the ability to send a service user
token with an admin context. This means that when nova makes REST API
calls to other services with an anonymous admin RequestContext (such as
in nova-manage or periodic tasks), it will not be authenticated as a
service.

This adds a keyword argument to service_auth.get_auth_plugin() to
enable callers to provide a user_auth object instead of attempting to
extract the user_auth from the RequestContext.

The cinder and neutron client modules are also adjusted to make use of
the new user_auth keyword argument so that nova calls made with
anonymous admin request contexts can authenticate as a service when
configured.

OpenStack Nova

image

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.

Use the following resources to learn more.

API

To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:

For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.

Other Information

During each Summit and Project Team Gathering, we agree on what the whole community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can be found at:
