No way to specify initial services region during login

[Justin Pomeroy]

If keystone is set up with multiple service regions, the initial service region is selected for you. This is done by searching the service catalog for the first non-identity service and then selecting the region for the first endpoint. This is an inconvenience when the user knows exactly which service region they want to use first.

Justin, have you looked at the AVAILABLE_REGIONS setting to see if it meets the need?

[Doug Fish (drfish)]

I haven't seen it documented, but it is in the code https://github.com/openstack/django_openstack_auth/blob/master/openstack_auth/forms.py#L72

[David Lyle (david-lyle)]

Doug, this is different. AVAILABLE_REGIONS is a list of keystone regions that have different log in credentials, this is for regions managed by one single keystone endpoint. To account for HA, my statement would have to grammatically more complicated, but essentially provide the same result. :)

[Justin Pomeroy (jpomero)]

The proposed solution is really not ideal, since it means the new setting AVAILABLE_SERVICE_REGIONS would need to be kept in sync with the service catalog. It certainly does not work in a multiple auth region environment. I've had this issue raised to me a couple times so thought I would try to do something about it.

I'm really not sure the proposed solution is any better than just letting the user go to the dashboard and switch regions if they need to. I might need to spend some more time on this.
