================================= Troubleshoot the Identity service ================================= To troubleshoot the Identity service, review the logs in the ``/var/log/keystone/keystone.log`` file. .. note Use the :file:`/etc/keystone/logging.conf` file to configure the location of log files. The logs show the components that have come in to the WSGI request, and ideally show an error that explains why an authorization request failed. If you do not see the request in the logs, run keystone with the :option:`--debug` parameter. Pass the :option:`--debug` parameter before the command parameters. Debug PKI middleware ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you receive an ``Invalid OpenStack Identity Credentials`` message when you talk to an OpenStack service, it might be caused by the changeover from UUID tokens to PKI tokens in the Grizzly release. Learn how to troubleshoot this error. The PKI-based token validation scheme relies on certificates from Identity that are fetched through HTTP and stored in a local directory. The location for this directory is specified by the ``signing_dir`` configuration option. In your services configuration file, look for a section like this: .. code-block:: ini [keystone_authtoken] signing_dir = /var/cache/glance/api auth_uri = http://controller:5000/v2.0 identity_uri = http://controller:35357 admin_tenant_name = service admin_user = glance The first thing to check is that the ``signing_dir`` does, in fact, exist. If it does, check for certificate files: .. code:: $ ls -la /var/cache/glance/api/ .. code:: total 24 drwx------. 2 ayoung root 4096 Jul 22 10:58 . drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 Nov 7 2012 .. -rw-r-----. 1 ayoung ayoung 1424 Jul 22 10:58 cacert.pem -rw-r-----. 1 ayoung ayoung 15 Jul 22 10:58 revoked.pem -rw-r-----. 1 ayoung ayoung 4518 Jul 22 10:58 signing_cert.pem This directory contains two certificates and the token revocation list. If these files are not present, your service cannot fetch them from Identity. To troubleshoot, try to talk to Identity to make sure it correctly serves files, as follows: .. code:: $ curl http://localhost:35357/v2.0/certificates/signing This command fetches the signing certificate: .. code:: Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: 1 (0x1) Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption Issuer: C=US, ST=Unset, L=Unset, O=Unset, CN=www.example.com Validity Not Before: Jul 22 14:57:31 2013 GMT Not After : Jul 20 14:57:31 2023 GMT Subject: C=US, ST=Unset, O=Unset, CN=www.example.com Note the expiration dates of the certificate: .. code:: Not Before: Jul 22 14:57:31 2013 GMT Not After : Jul 20 14:57:31 2023 GMT The token revocation list is updated once a minute, but the certificates are not. One possible problem is that the certificates are the wrong files or garbage. You can remove these files and run another command against your server; they are fetched on demand. The Identity service log should show the access of the certificate files. You might have to turn up your logging levels. Set ``debug = True`` and ``verbose = True`` in your Identity configuration file and restart the Identity server. .. code:: (keystone.common.wsgi): 2013-07-24 12:18:11,461 DEBUG wsgi __call__ arg_dict: {} (access): 2013-07-24 12:18:11,462 INFO core __call__ 127.0.0.1 - - [24/Jul/2013:16:18:11 +0000] "GET http://localhost:35357/v2.0/certificates/signing HTTP/1.0" 200 4518 If the files do not appear in your directory after this, it is likely one of the following issues: * Your service is configured incorrectly and cannot talk to Identity. Check the ``auth_port`` and ``auth_host`` values and make sure that you can talk to that service through cURL, as shown previously. * Your signing directory is not writable. Use the ``chmod`` command to change its permissions so that the service (POSIX) user can write to it. Verify the change through ``su`` and ``touch`` commands. * The SELinux policy is denying access to the directory. SELinux troubles often occur when you use Fedora or RHEL-based packages and you choose configuration options that do not match the standard policy. Run the ``setenforce permissive`` command. If that makes a difference, you should relabel the directory. If you are using a sub-directory of the ``/var/cache/`` directory, run the following command: .. code:: # restorecon /var/cache/ If you are not using a ``/var/cache`` sub-directory, you should. Modify the ``signing_dir`` configuration option for your service and restart. Set back to ``setenforce enforcing`` to confirm that your changes solve the problem. If your certificates are fetched on demand, the PKI validation is working properly. Most likely, the token from Identity is not valid for the operation you are attempting to perform, and your user needs a different role for the operation. Debug signing key file errors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If an error occurs when the signing key file opens, it is possible that the person who ran the ``keystone-manage pki_setup`` command to generate certificates and keys did not use the correct user. When you run the ``keystone-manage pki_setup`` command, Identity generates a set of certificates and keys in ``/etc/keystone/ssl*``, which is owned by ``root:root``. This can present a problem when you run the Identity daemon under the keystone user account (nologin) when you try to run PKI. Unless you run the ``chown`` command against the files ``keystone:keystone``, or run the ``keystone-manage pki_setup`` command with the :option:`--keystone-user` and :option:`--keystone-group` parameters, you will get an error. For example: .. code:: 2012-07-31 11:10:53 ERROR [keystone.common.cms] Error opening signing key file /etc/keystone/ssl/private/signing_key.pem 140380567730016:error:0200100D:system library:fopen:Permission denied:bss_file.c:398:fopen('/etc/keystone/ssl/private/signing_key.pem','r') 140380567730016:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:bss_file.c:400: unable to load signing key file Flush expired tokens from the token database table ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you generate tokens, the token database table on the Identity server grows. To clear the token table, an administrative user must run the ``keystone-manage token_flush`` command to flush the tokens. When you flush tokens, expired tokens are deleted and traceability is eliminated. Use ``cron`` to schedule this command to run frequently based on your workload. For large workloads, running it every minute is recommended.
