Authentication middleware with user name and password

You can also configure Identity authentication middleware using the admin_user and admin_password options.

Note

The admin_token option is deprecated and no longer used for configuring auth_token middleware.

For services that have a separate paste-deploy .ini file, you can configure the authentication middleware in the [keystone_authtoken] section of the main configuration file, such as nova.conf. In Compute, for example, you can remove the middleware parameters from api-paste.ini, as follows:

[filter:authtoken]
paste.filter_factory = keystonemiddleware.auth_token:filter_factory

And set the following values in nova.conf as follows:

[DEFAULT]
...
auth_strategy=keystone

[keystone_authtoken]
auth_uri = http://controller:5000/v2.0
identity_uri = http://controller:35357
admin_user = admin
admin_password = SuperSekretPassword
admin_tenant_name = service

Note

The middleware parameters in the paste config take priority. You must remove them to use the values in the [keystone_authtoken] section.

Note

Comment out any auth_host, auth_port, and auth_protocol options because the identity_uri option replaces them.

This sample paste config filter makes use of the admin_user and admin_password options:

[filter:authtoken]
paste.filter_factory = keystonemiddleware.auth_token:filter_factory
auth_uri = http://controller:5000/v2.0
identity_uri = http://controller:35357
auth_token = 012345SECRET99TOKEN012345
admin_user = admin
admin_password = keystone123

Note

Using this option requires an admin project/role relationship. The admin user is granted access to the admin role on the admin project.

Note

Comment out any auth_host, auth_port, and auth_protocol options because the identity_uri option replaces them.
