swift/keystone config info is in compute guide but not storage guide

[David Kranz]

I was looking in the storage guide for how to configure swift with keystone and found nothing except a pointer to the keystone repo on github. Oddly, this information can be found in the compute guide as part of

http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/configuring-services-to-work-with-keystone.html

I know from his recent post to the list that John doesn't think swift should know anything about keystone. I understand that from a code perspective but it makes little sense to users looking at OpenStack as a whole, or for the doc set. It would also be good if this section for swift explained how to upgrade a diablo system using tempauth to use keystone in essex. Is this kind of information available anywhere? There is such an explanation for nova which is helpful.

Agreed that this information belongs in the Object Storage guide as well. I need to find a subject matter expert who can write it. Do you have ideas?

[David Kranz (david-kranz)]

Anne, I'm not sure if you are referring to moving the existing stuff from the compute to storage guide, or my comment about migration from tempauth?

[Anne Gentle (annegentle)]

David, marking as Fix Released, the Identity information is now included in the Object Storage admin manual and the Object Storage installation steps are part of the Install/Deploy guide.

The "upgrade from tempauth to Keystone" seems like a lot of work for very few deployers, so not addressing that. For nova, it's a migration from old keystone to "keystone light" which makes a lot of sense.

I hope my response addresses both your concerns. Thanks for the input!

I think that is reasonable. BTW, is the content of docs.openstack.org/trunk always current with respect to the checked in stuff?
