wrong error description when setting a scope

[Canh Truong]

When typing the command openstack without setting a scope (openstack --os-username admin --os-password nomoresecrete --os-auth-url http://localhost:5000 user list), the error description is:
ERROR: openstack Missing parameter(s):
Set a scope, such as a project or domain, set a project scope with --os-project-name, OS_PROJECT_NAME or auth.project_name, set a domain scope with --os-domain-name, OS_DOMAIN_NAME or auth.domain_name
But then we do the command openstack with domain scope (openstack --os-username admin --os-password nomoresecrete --os-auth-url http://localhost:5000 --os-domain-name default user list), the command executed not successfully, get another error:
ERROR: openstack Expecting to find domain in user - the server could not comply with the request since it is either malformed or otherwise incorrect. The client is assumed to be in error. (HTTP 400) (Request-ID: req-4919fb9c-75dc-44be-8639-d24707404192). the command also needs more argument (--os-user-domain-id) when we set a scope is domain scope.

I think we should add "--os-user-domain-id" argument in first error description when setting domain scope

Near as I know, --os-username --os-password --os-auth-url options are all broken if that is related.

ìf we use project scope instead of domain scope, the command works normaly. e.g: openstack --os-username admin --os-password nomoresecrete --os-auth-url http://localhost:5000 --os-project-name admin user list

[Steve Martinelli (stevemar)]

this is working as designed,

a scope - meaning a project or domain is required.

the --os-user-domain-id/name value is only required if you're authenticating as a user in the non-default domain. this is not the same as scope (authorization).
