⁠13.2. Enabling the Authentication of OpenStack Providers

Summary
Before you can access the resources offered by an OpenStack provider, you must specify the location of a Keystone endpoint for that provider in the Manager to enable authentication of the resources the provider will offer.
⁠

Procedure 13.1. Configuring the Location of a Keystone Endpoint

  1. Log in to the system running Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager as the root user.
  2. Configure the location of the Keystone server, including the port number and API version: 
    # engine-config --set KeystoneAuthUrl=http://[address to the endpoint]:35357/v2.0
  3. Configure the Manager to only consider required networks for VM scheduling: 
    # engine-config --set OnlyRequiredNetworksMandatoryForVdsSelection=true
  4. Restart the engine service: 
    # service ovirt-engine restart
Result
You have configured the location of a Keystone endpoint against which the credentials of OpenStack providers can be authenticated.

Note

At current, only one Keystone endpoint can be specified in the Manager. Due to this, only OpenStack providers that are authenticated using the specified Keystone endpoint can be accessed.
