Specify the host for your OpenStack Identity Service endpoint in the local_settings file(on Fedora/RHEL/ CentOS: /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings, on Ubuntu and Debian: /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py, and on openSUSE: /srv/www/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py) with the OPENSTACK_HOST setting. The following example shows this setting: The service catalog configuration in the Identity Service determines whether a service appears in the dashboard. For the full listing, see Horizon Settings and Configuration. Restart Apache http server. For Ubuntu/Debian/SUSE: # service apache2 restart or for Fedora/RHEL/CentOS: # service httpd restart Next, restart memcached: # service memcached restart
