Edit the :file:`/etc/swift/account-server.conf` file and complete the
following actions:

* In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, configure the bind IP address, bind port,
  user, configuration directory, and mount point directory:

  .. code-block:: ini
     :linenos:

     [DEFAULT]
     ...
     bind_ip = MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS
     bind_port = 6002
     user = swift
     swift_dir = /etc/swift
     devices = /srv/node

  Replace ``MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS`` with the IP address of the
  management network on the storage node.

* In the ``[pipeline:main]`` section, enable the appropriate modules:

  .. code-block:: ini
     :linenos:

     [pipeline:main]
     pipeline = healthcheck recon account-server

  .. note::

     For more information on other modules that enable additional features,
     see the `Deployment Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/deployment_guide.html>`__.

* In the ``[filter:recon]`` section, configure the recon (meters) cache
  directory:

  .. code-block:: ini
     :linenos:
