glance-api service stops with the following error with cinder storage backend.

ERROR: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'user_id'

Glance-api configuration that lead to the error:

[DEFAULT]
...
enabled_backends = local:file, ceph:rbd, __DEFAULT__:cinder
...
[glance_store]
default_backend = ceph
filesystem_store_datadir = /var/lib/glance/images/
...
...
[local]
filesystem_store_datadir = /var/lib/glance/images/
store_description = Local filesystem store
[ceph]
rbd_store_chunk_size = 8
rbd_store_pool = glance
rbd_store_user = glance
rados_connect_timeout = 0
rbd_store_ceph_conf = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
[__DEFAULT__]
cinder_volume_type = __DEFAULT__

The error occurs in specific case where cinder_volume_type is defined for the store but not cinder_store_user_name, cinder_store_password, cinder_store_auth_address, cinder_store_project_name, cinder_store_project_domain_name.

Since there is no context passed while creating cinderclient [1] and cinder_store_user_name is not defined, failed to create cinderclient object.

Probably this should leave a WARNING message in logs instead of stopping the glance-api service just like the behaviour when cinder service is not started.
