Python bindings to the OpenStack Identity API (Keystone)
========================================================
This is a client for the OpenStack Identity API, implemented by Keystone.
There's a Python API (the ``keystoneclient`` module), and a command-line script
(``keystone``).
Development takes place via the usual OpenStack processes as outlined in the
`OpenStack wiki`_. The master repository is on GitHub__.

This code a fork of `Rackspace's python-novaclient`__ which is in turn a fork
of `Jacobian's python-cloudservers`__. The python-keystoneclient is licensed
under the Apache License like the rest of OpenStack.

Python API
----------
By way of a quick-start::
# use v2.0 auth with http://example.com:5000/v2.0
>>> from keystoneclient.v2_0 import client
>>> keystone = client.Client(username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD, tenant_name=TENANT, auth_url=AUTH_URL)
>>> keystone.tenants.list()
>>> tenant = keystone.tenants.create(tenant_name="test", description="My new tenant!", enabled=True)
>>> tenant.delete()
Command-line API
----------------
Installing this package gets you a shell command, ``keystone``, that you can
use to interact with OpenStack's Identity API.
You'll need to provide your OpenStack tenant, username and password. You can do
this with the ``--os-tenant-name``, ``--os-username`` and ``--os-password``
params, but it's easier to just set them as environment variables::
export OS_TENANT_NAME=project
export OS_USERNAME=user
export OS_PASSWORD=pass
You will also need to define the authentication url with ``--os-auth-url`` and
the version of the API with ``--os-identity-api-version``. Or set them as an
environment variables as well::
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://example.com:5000/v2.0
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=2.0
Alternatively, to bypass username/password authentication, you can provide a
pre-established token. In Keystone, this approach is necessary to bootstrap the
service with an administrative user, tenant & role (to do so, provide the
client with the value of your ``admin_token`` defined in ``keystone.conf`` in
addition to the URL of your admin API deployment, typically on port 35357)::
export OS_SERVICE_TOKEN=thequickbrownfox-jumpsover-thelazydog
export OS_SERVICE_ENDPOINT=http://example.com:35357/v2.0
Since the Identity service can return multiple regions in the service catalog,
you can specify the one you want with ``--os-region-name`` (or ``export
OS_REGION_NAME``)::
export OS_REGION_NAME=north
.. WARNING::
If a region is not specified and multiple regions are returned by the
Identity service, the client may not access the same region consistently.
If you need to connect to a server that is TLS-enabled (the auth URL begins
with 'https') and it uses a certificate from a private CA or a self-signed
certificate you will need to specify the path to an appropriate CA certificate
to use to validate the server certificate with ``--os-cacert`` or an
environment variable::
export OS_CACERT=/etc/ssl/my-root-cert.pem
Certificate verification can be turned off using ``--insecure``. This should
be used with caution.
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running ``keystone help``::

help Display help about this program or one of its
subcommands.
Optional arguments:
--os-username <auth-user-name>
Name used for authentication with the OpenStack
Identity service. Defaults to env[OS_USERNAME]
--os-password <auth-password>
Password used for authentication with the OpenStack
Identity service. Defaults to env[OS_PASSWORD]
--os-tenant-name <auth-tenant-name>
Tenant to request authorization on. Defaults to
env[OS_TENANT_NAME]
--os-tenant-id <tenant-id>
Tenant to request authorization on. Defaults to
env[OS_TENANT_ID]
--os-auth-url <auth-url>
Specify the Identity endpoint to use for
authentication. Defaults to env[OS_AUTH_URL]
--os-region-name <region-name>
Defaults to env[OS_REGION_NAME]
--os-identity-api-version <identity-api-version>
Defaults to env[OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION] or 2.0
--os-token <service-token>

from the service catalog (via authentication).
Defaults to env[OS_SERVICE_ENDPOINT]
--os-cacert <ca-certificate>
Specify a CA bundle file to use in verifying a TLS
(https) server certificate. Defaults to env[OS_CACERT]
--insecure Explicitly allow keystoneclient to perform "insecure"
TLS (https) requests. The server's certificate will
not be verified against any certificate authorities.
This option should be used with caution.
