Preface

Organizations using OpenStack Keystone to authenticate users can integrate Keystone with the Ceph Object Gateway, which enables the gateway to accept a Keystone token, authenticate the user and create a corresponding Ceph Object Gateway user. When Keystone validates a token, the gateway considers the user authenticated.

Benefits include:

  • Managing Users with Keystone
  • Automatic User Creation in the Ceph Object Gateway
  • The Ceph Object Gateway will query Keystone periodically for a list of revoked tokens.
