A Python egg that adds support for the CDMI protocol to OpenStack Swift.

1. Install Openstack with Swift
2. Grab the code from github: git clone http://github.com/osaddon/cdmi
3. Install this python egg: sudo python setup.py install
4. Configure Swift:

In /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf, add cdmi filter before proxy-server

[pipeline:main]
pipeline = healthcheck cache tempauth *cdmi* proxy-server

And add the following section to the file:

[filter:cdmi]
use = egg:cdmiapi#cdmiapp

To use CDMI ReSTful API to access containers and data objects, a CDMI client normally need to know the root path plus the host name and port number. This implementation uses "cdmi/" as its root and the port number is 8080. An example url to access a container may look like this:

http://hostname:8080/cdmi/root_container/container1/data1

To access the capability, a CDMI client should simply use the host name, port and the root path "cdmi/" and the returned capability path. For example, to access the data1 capability, the url may look like this:

http://hostname:8080/cdmi/cdmi_capabilities/root_container/container1/data1

First copy a test config file to /etc/swift:

cp /opt/stack/swift/test/sample.conf /etc/swift/test.conf

if you are using keystone configuration for authentication, you will have to make changes in /etc/swift/test.conf and to make sure that you have all the information correct as follows:

auth_host = 127.0.0.1
auth_port = 5000
access_port = 8080
auth_ssl = no
auth_prefix = /v2.0/tokens

account = your_tenant_name
username = your_user_name
password = your_password

if you have swift all-in-one environment, then make sure the information in /etc/swift/test.conf is as follows:

auth_host = 127.0.0.1
auth_port = 8080
access_port = 8080
auth_ssl = no
auth_prefix = /auth/v1.0

account = test
username = tester
password = testing

Now the test cases in the test directory can be run using python <name_of_test.py> in the tests directory.

Please make sure swift is enabled in your devstack environment file localrc.

Authenticate and get an auth token (Swift All-in-one environment):

curl -v -H 'X-Storage-User: test:tester' -H 'X-Storage-Pass: testing' http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/v1.0

Authenticate and get an auth token (DevStack or Keystone 2.0):

curl -d '{"auth": {"passwordCredentials": {"username": "<<your name>>",
"password": "<<your password>>"}, "tenantName":"<<your tenant name>>"}}'
-H "Content-Type: application/json" http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/tokens

Use the Authentication token and URL which is in the response from the last curl command to perform an GET operation:

curl -v -X GET -H 'X-Auth-Token: AUTH_tk56b01c82710b41328db7c9f953d3933d'
http://127.0.0.1:8080/cdmi/<user_account>/

Create a Container: (replace the auth token with the token obtained above, also replace the user_account with your user account)

curl -v -X PUT -H 'X-Auth-Token: <<your token>>'
-H 'Content-tType: application/directory'-H 'Content-Length: 0'
http://127.0.0.1:8080/cdmi/<user_account>/<root container>

Query the capabilites of a Container:

curl -v -X GET -H 'X-Auth-Token: <<your token>>'
-H 'X-CDMI-Specification-Version: 1.0.1'
http://127.0.0.1:8080/cdmi/<user_id>/cdmi_capabilities/container/

Add an Object to a Container:

curl -v -X PUT -H 'X-Auth-Token: <<your token>>'
-H 'X-CDMI-Specification-Version: 1.0.1'
-H 'Accept: application/cdmi-object'
-H 'Content-Type: application/cdmi-object'
http://127.0.0.1:8080/cdmi/<user_account>/<root container>/<container_name>/<object_name> -d '<Some JSON>'
