This is a client for the OpenStack Keystone API. There's a Python API (the keystoneclient
module), and a command-line script (keystone
). The Keystone 2.0 API is still a moving target, so this module will remain in "Beta" status until the API is finalized and fully implemented.
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=KEYSTONE_URL)
>>> keystone.tenants.list()
>>> tenant = keystone.tenants.create(name="test", descrption="My new tenant!", enabled=True)
>>> tenant.delete()
Installing this package gets you a shell command, keystone
, that you can use to interact with Keystone's Identity API.
You'll need to provide your OpenStack tenant, username and password. You can do this with the tenant_name
, --username
and --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 --auth_url
and the version of the API with --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 authenticate to Keystone without a username/password, such as when there are no users in the database yet, use the service token and endpoint arguemnts. The service token is set in keystone.conf as admin_token
; set it with service_token
. Note: keep the service token secret as it allows total access to Keystone's database. The admin endpoint is set with --endpoint
or SERVICE_ENDPOINT
:
export SERVICE_TOKEN=thequickbrownfox-jumpsover-thelazydog
export SERVICE_ENDPOINT=http://example.com:35357/v2.0
Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you can specify the one you want with --region_name
(or export OS_REGION_NAME
). It defaults to the first in the list returned.
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running keystone help
:
