I originally thought the above was how to solve my issue. However, I realized that we could solve the issue in a more generic way since the above would be only effective to Ubuntu-package based OpenStack dashboard deployment.

As Juju is a universal modeling tool, it should not be tied with an Ubuntu-specific patch. Instead, we could leverage openrc.sh[1] which is offered by the most of OpenStack deployments as the defacto API credential file.

We already uses it in `juju autoload-credentials`, so if we could do a similar thing to `juju add-cloud`(juju autoload-clouds?), that would work for any OpenStack, not only for Ubuntu OpenStack since openrc.sh has all information necessary for `add-cloud` including endpoint and region.
