Comment 1 for bug 1494366

I can't reproduce this issue with the latest devstack.
I executed the following scenarios:
1) Request admin token:
source openrc admin admin
keystone token-get
curl -g -i -X POST -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'User-Agent: python-glanceclient' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'X-Auth-Token: xxxxx' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://xxxx:9292/v2/images/2fa8d2de-2cc6-4641-a9f9-a91b3216f0d3/actions/deactivate
I succeed to deactivate an image.
2) Request demo token
Execute steps from 1)
As a result I succeed to de-activate an image.
I think that you have some problems with specific OS version.
Could you please specify it? After that I can try to reproduce it again.
