Chapter 4. Using OpenStack

Congratulations! You have now deployed your Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform environment.
You can now access your OpenStack environment using the following logins:
  • admin user, who has administrative permissions for the cloud (admin role). The admin user's password is stored in the /root/keystonerc_admin file, as well as in Packstack's answer file (CONFIG_KEYSTONE_ADMIN_PW).
  • demo user, who has basic end-user permissions (_member_ role). The demo user's password is stored in its associated /root/keystonerc_demo file and in Packstack's answer file (CONFIG_KEYSTONE_DEMO_PW). The demo environment is created by default unless you specified otherwise.

Note

If automatically generated, Packstack's answer file has a file name similar to /root/packstack-answers-20150306-051043.txt.
