<para>To set the required environment variables for the OpenStack

command-line clients, you must create an environment file

called an OpenStack rc file, or <filename>openrc.sh</filename>
|
|
file.<phrase audience="enduser"> If your OpenStack

|
installation provides it, you can download the file from

other user.</phrase> This project-specific environment

file contains the credentials that all OpenStack services

use.</para>

<para>Defining environment variables using an environment file is not a
