Keystone Setup

Keystone is a Python application that requires a number of dependencies to be installed. This document covers how to use Python, pip, and virtualenv to set up an isolated test environment for running and testing Keystone.

Prerequisites

  1. Make sure Python is installed.

  2. Install pip, the Python package tool. Installation instructions can be found here. pip can also be installed via Homebrew for Mac OS X users.

  3. Install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper:

    pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper`

  4. Set up virtualenvwrapper. Add the following lines to your .bash_profile to get the virtualenvwrapper scripts in the path.

    export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

  5. Clone the Keystone repo:

    git clone https://github.com/openstack/keystone.git

  6. Navigate to the Keystone repo and checkout the proper tag:

    git checkout grizzly-2

Create a Virtual Environment for Keystone

Run the following command to create a virtual environment:

mkvirtualenv keystone-test

The keystone-test virtual environment is now created, activated, and ready to use.

Install the Keystone dependencies

The dependencies for running Keystone can be found in tools/pip-requires. At the time of this writing, grizzly-2 is the latest tag of Keystone and the dependencies are based on versions that work with that tag. Use pip to install the dependencies as follows:

pip install -r tools/pip-requires

Configure Keystone

The next step is to select the appropriate options in the keystone.conf configuration file. A sample configuration that is useful for local testing with Riak CS can be found here. This configuration file sets up logging to ./log/keystone/keystone.log and uses the templated catalog backend to set up the Riak CS object store service. This catalog backend uses a local file to populate the service catalog.

The default file in the previously referenced sample keystone.conf file uses etc/default_catalog.templates, but this can be changed. Set the contents of etc/default_catalog.templates to be the following:

# config for TemplatedCatalog, using camelCase
catalog.RegionOne.identity.publicURL = http://localhost:$(public_port)s/v2.0
catalog.RegionOne.identity.adminURL = http://localhost:$(admin_port)s/v2.0
catalog.RegionOne.identity.internalURL = http://localhost:$(public_port)s/v2.0
catalog.RegionOne.identity.name = Identity Service

catalog.RegionOne.object-store.publicURL = http://localhost:8080/v1/AUTH_$(tenant_id)s
catalog.RegionOne.object-store.adminURL = http://localhost:8080/
catalog.RegionOne.object-store.internalURL = http://localhost:8080/v1/AUTH_$(tenant_id)s
catalog.RegionOne.object-store.name = 'Object Store Service'

Optional configuration

For testing, it can be easier to configure keystone to use UUID as the token format. To do this, edit keystone.conf and set the following:

token_format = UUID

Prepare the database

./bin/keystone-manage db_sync

Run Keystone

./bin/keystone-all --config-file /
  /<absolute-path-to-keystone-repo>/keystone/etc/keystone.conf -d --debug

The following script can be used to set a number of useful environment variables to make using the Keystone client less cumbersome.

#!/bin/bash

export OS_SERVICE_TOKEN=ADMIN
export OS_SERVICE_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:35357/v2.0
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=2.0
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:5000/v2.0
export OS_USERNAME=test
export OS_PASSWORD=test
export OS_TENANT_NAME=test
