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.

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()
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.

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>
Specify an existing token to use instead of retrieving
one via authentication (e.g. with username &
password). Defaults to env[OS_SERVICE_TOKEN]
--os-endpoint <service-endpoint>
Specify an endpoint to use instead of retrieving one
from the service catalog (via authentication).
Defaults to env[OS_SERVICE_ENDPOINT]
--os-cacert <ca-certificate>
Defaults to env[OS_CACERT]
--os-cert <certificate>
Defaults to env[OS_CERT]
--os-key <key> Defaults to env[OS_KEY]
--insecure Explicitly allow keystoneclient to perform "insecure"
SSL (https) requests. The server's certificate will
not be verified against any certificate authorities.
This option should be used with caution.
