Security
~~~~~~~~
OpenStack services support various security methods including password,
policy, and encryption. Additionally, supporting services including the
database server and message broker support at least password security.
To ease the installation process, this guide only covers password
security where applicable. You can create secure passwords manually,
generate them using a tool such as
`pwgen <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pwgen/>`__, or by running the
following command:
.. code-block:: console
$ openssl rand -hex 10
For OpenStack services, this guide uses `SERVICE_PASS` to reference
service account passwords and `SERVICE_DBPASS` to reference database
passwords.
The following table provides a list of services that require passwords
and their associated references in the guide:

OpenStack and supporting services require administrative privileges
during installation and operation. In some cases, services perform
modifications to the host that can interfere with deployment automation
tools such as Ansible, Chef, and Puppet. For example, some OpenStack
services add a root wrapper to ``sudo`` that can interfere with security
policies. See the `Cloud Administrator
Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/root-wrap-reference.html>`__
for more information.
Also, the Networking service assumes default
values for kernel network parameters and modifies firewall rules. To
avoid most issues during your initial installation, we recommend using a
stock deployment of a supported distribution on your hosts. However, if
you choose to automate deployment of your hosts, review the
configuration and policies applied to them before proceeding further.
