The :program:`keystone` shell utility
=========================================
.. program:: keystone
.. highlight:: bash
The :program:`keystone` shell utility interacts with OpenStack Keystone API
from the command line. It supports the entirety of the OpenStack Keystone API.
First, you'll need an OpenStack Keystone account. You get this by using the
`keystone-manage` command in OpenStack Keystone.
You'll need to provide :program:`keystone` with your OpenStack username and
password. You can do this with the :option:`--os-username`, :option:`--os-password`.
You can optionally specify a :option:`--os-tenant-id` or :option:`--os-tenant-name`,
to scope your token to a specific tenant. If you don't specify a tenant, you
will be scoped to your default tenant if you have one. Instead of using
options, it is easier to just set them as environment variables:
.. envvar:: OS_USERNAME
Your Keystone username.
.. envvar:: OS_PASSWORD
Your Keystone password.
.. envvar:: OS_TENANT_NAME
Name of Keystone Tenant.
.. envvar:: OS_TENANT_ID
ID of Keystone Tenant.
.. envvar:: OS_AUTH_URL
The OpenStack API server URL.
.. envvar:: OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION
The OpenStack Identity API version.
.. envvar:: OS_CACERT
The location for the CA truststore (PEM formatted) for this client.
.. envvar:: OS_CERT
The location for the keystore (PEM formatted) containing the public
key of this client. This keystore can also optionally contain the
private key of this client.
.. envvar:: OS_KEY
The location for the keystore (PEM formatted) containing the private
key of this client. This value can be empty if the private key is
included in the OS_CERT file.
For example, in Bash you'd use::
export OS_USERNAME=yourname
export OS_PASSWORD=yadayadayada
export OS_TENANT_NAME=myproject
export OS_AUTH_URL=http(s)://example.com:5000/v2.0/
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=2.0
export OS_CACERT=/etc/keystone/yourca.pem
export OS_CERT=/etc/keystone/yourpublickey.pem
export OS_KEY=/etc/keystone/yourprivatekey.pem
From there, all shell commands take the form::
keystone <command> [arguments...]
Run :program:`keystone help` to get a full list of all possible commands,
and run :program:`keystone help <command>` to get detailed help for that
command.
