The federation APIs for the identity providers introduce a new parameter for every identity provider, named remote_ids, which contains a list of entity ID associated with. This parameter can be provided during the creation of the identity provider and can be updated at any time. For more information look at the blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/idp-id-registration This patch add the support to this new parameter in the command line by inserting the option "--remote-id" in the following commands: - "identity provider create" - "identity provider set" Additionally, the values can be read from a file, specified by "--remote-id-file", containing an entity id per line. Change-Id: Ie93340ee57e54128daa70d8a7bd0a9975ff7eef4 Depends-On: I12a262c55b5f6b5cc7007865edf30f14269da537 Implements: blueprint idp-id-registration
OpenStackClient
OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Volume APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.
The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip:
pip install python-openstackclient
There are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options
and supported commands is shown with --help
:
openstack --help
There is also a help
command that can be used to get
help text for a specific command:
openstack help
openstack help server create
Configuration
The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line options as listed in http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/authentication.html.
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used:
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
export OS_USERNAME=<username>
export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-auth-url <url>
--os-project-name <project-name>
--os-username <username>
[--os-password <password>]
If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively prompted to provide one securely.
Authentication may also be performed using an already-acquired token and a URL pointing directly to the service API that presumably was acquired from the Service Catalog:
export OS_TOKEN=<token>
export OS_URL=<url-to-openstack-service>
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-token <token>
--os-url <url-to-openstack-service>
