Authenticate in End User Guide

[Guillaume Moulard]

hi,

On http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/sdk_authenticate.html is necessary to detail the authentication method for keystone, nova, neutron, ... clients.

probably the most interesting way is to create a generic python class with some methods for dedicated authentication by clients:

credentials.py
import os

def get_credentials():
    d = {}
    d['username'] = os.environ['OS_USERNAME']
    d['password'] = os.environ['OS_PASSWORD']
    d['auth_url'] = os.environ['OS_AUTH_URL']
    d['tenant_name'] = os.environ['OS_TENANT_NAME']
    return d

def get_nova_credentials():
    d = {}
    d['username'] = os.environ['OS_USERNAME']
    d['api_key'] = os.environ['OS_PASSWORD']
    d['auth_url'] = os.environ['OS_AUTH_URL']
    d['project_id'] = os.environ['OS_TENANT_NAME']
    return d

def get_nova_credentials_v2():
    d = {}
    d['version'] = '2'
    d['username'] = os.environ['OS_USERNAME']
    d['api_key'] = os.environ['OS_PASSWORD']
    d['auth_url'] = os.environ['OS_AUTH_URL']
    d['project_id'] = os.environ['OS_TENANT_NAME']
    d['region_name'] = os.environ['OS_REGION_NAME']

...

After on all the documentation we can reuse this libray

Is I can help for this update :)

user-guide seems too simple description. At least it needs to add pointer.

Hi Guillaume, I've contacted some Subject Matter Experts for feedback on the proposal here. Thanks!

[Alexandra Settle (alexandra-settle)]

Joe - what's the update here? :)

[Joseph Robinson (joseph-r-email)]

I have python SDK subject matter expert feedback I need to follow up on for this bug. Will need to stay wishlist for a bit longer.

[Alexandra Settle (alexandra-settle)]

Okay thanks Joe :)
