=========================
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.
Configuration options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Compute API configuration options are documented in the tables below.
