Compute API configuration
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
The Compute API, run by the ``nova-api`` daemon, is the component of
|
|
OpenStack Compute that receives and responds to user requests,
|
|
whether they be direct API calls, or via the CLI tools or dashboard.
|
|
|
|
Configure Compute API password handling
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The OpenStack Compute API enables users to specify an administrative
|
|
password when they create or rebuild a server instance.
|
|
If the user does not specify a password, a random password is
|
|
generated and returned in the API response.
|
|
|
|
In practice, how the admin password is handled depends on the hypervisor
|
|
in use and might require additional configuration of the instance.
|
|
For example, you might have to install an agent to handle the password
|
|
setting. If the hypervisor and instance configuration do not support
|
|
setting a password at server create time, the password that is returned
|
|
by the create API call is misleading because it was ignored.
|
|
|
|
To prevent this confusion, use the ``enable_instance_password``
|
|
configuration option to disable the return of the admin password
|
|
for installations that do not support setting instance passwords.
|
|
|
|
