<title>Authentication</title>
|
|
<para>You must authenticate against an OpenStack endpoint before you can
|
|
use OpenStack services. Each project uses a slightly different syntax for doing
|
|
authentication.</para>
|
|
<para>You must typically authenticate against a specific version of
|
|
a service. For example, a client might need to authenticate
|
|
against the Identity Service v2.0.</para>
|
|
<para>Python scripts that use the OpenStack SDK must have access to the
|
|
credentials contained in the
|
|
<link linkend="cli_openrc">OpenStack RC file</link>. Because credentials
|
|
are sensitive information, do not include them in your scripts. This guide
|
|
assumes that users source the <filename>openrc.sh</filename> file and access
|
|
the credentials by using the environment variables in the Python scripts.</para>
