Creating creds needs revision for Essex

[Anne Gentle]

http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/creating-certifications.html needs revision.

From the mailing list:

The creds database is now created by running nova-cert (a patch went in recently to update that error message), but nova-manage project zipfile is not the best way to get creds. You can get credentials from the essex dashboard or by setting them manually. The devstack script sets them for you if you source openrc.

https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack/blob/master/openrc#L55

The certs are only used for euca-bundle-vol. You can get certs using the nova command line tool. For example

Docs Patch should be OpenStack generic, and avoid reliance on DevStack specifics.

Basically I'm looking for an equivalent command for this:

mkdir –p /root/creds
/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/nova-manage project zipfile $NOVA_PROJECT
$NOVA_PROJECT_USER /root/creds/novacreds.zip

...
in Essex, because the command above no longer works.

After speaking on IRC, it seems that doing new installations with "--use_deprecated_auth" is not longer possible, due to removal of legacy cred generation facility "nova-manage project zipfile".

Currently (essex-M3) it is impossible to generate new authentication keys for old authentication mechanism.

It means, that this whole "Installation" section must be re-written using Keystone commands. Would be glad to help however I can (at least in testing the new docs).

I have seen this patch, but it does not address the issues in question: (in nova-docs)
1. --use_deprecated_auth flag
2. nova-manage project zipfile $NOVA_PROJECT
