Alessandro Pilotti 630a349bc3 Adds get_console_connect_info API
Implements: blueprint hyper-v-rdp-console

Currently graphical console access to Nova instances is limited to
clients which are part of Nova itself (novnc, xvpvnc, spice-html5).
The mentioned clients verify the validity of a console access token
with the following private API:
nova.consoleauth.rpcapi.ConsoleAuthAPI.check_token

The usage of a private API precludes the possibility of employing
external graphical console clients, including FreeRDP-WebConnect, used
to connect to Hyper-V instances via RDP.

This change adds a public API method that wraps the aforementioned
check_token private API. This allows external clients to obtain the
necessary protocol connection information by providing a token
previously obtained with calls to get_vnc_console, get_spice_console
or get_rdp_console.

Includes V2 and V3 API implementations.

OpenStack Nova Documentation README

Included documents:

  • developer reference guide(devref)
  • man pages

Dependencies

Building this documentation can be done in a regular Nova development environment, such as the virtualenv created by run_tests.sh or tools/install_venv.py. A leaner but sufficient environment can be created by starting with one that is suitable for running Nova (such as the one created by DevStack) and then using pip to install oslosphinx.

Building the docs

From the root nova directory:

python setup.py build_sphinx

Building just the man pages

from the root nova directory:

python setup.py build_sphinx -b man

Installing the man pages

After building the man pages, they can be found in doc/build/man/. You can install the man page onto your system by following the following steps:

Example for nova-scheduler:

mkdir /usr/local/man/man1
install -g 0 -o 0 -m 0644 doc/build/man/nova-scheduler.1  /usr/local/man/man1/nova-scheduler.1
gzip /usr/local/man/man1/nova-scheduler.1
man nova-scheduler
