Verifying OpenStack operation
-----------------------------

Verify basic operation of the OpenStack API and dashboard.


**Procedure 8.1. Verifying the API**

The utility container provides a CLI environment for additional
configuration and testing.

#. Determine the utility container name:

   .. code-block:: shell-session

       # lxc-ls | grep utility
       infra1_utility_container-161a4084

#. Access the utility container:

   .. code-block:: shell-session

       # lxc-attach -n infra1_utility_container-161a4084

#. Source the ``admin`` tenant credentials:

   .. code-block:: shell-session

       # source /root/openrc

#. Run an OpenStack command that uses one or more APIs. For example:

   .. code-block:: shell-session

       # openstack user list

**Procedure 8.2. Verifying the dashboard**

#. With a web browser, access the dashboard using the external load
   balancer IP address defined by the ``external_lb_vip_address`` option
   in the ``/etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml`` file. The
   dashboard uses HTTPS on port 443.

#. Authenticate using the username ``admin`` and password defined by the
   ``keystone_auth_admin_password`` option in the
   ``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`` file.

Uploading public images using the dashboard or CLI can only be performed
by users with administrator privileges.
