Red Hat Training
A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Gluster Storage
25.2. Components of Object Store
- Authenticate Object Store against an external OpenStack Keystone server.Each Red Hat Gluster Storage volume is mapped to a single account. Each account can have multiple users with different privileges based on the group and role they are assigned to. After authenticating using accountname:username and password, user is issued a token which will be used for all subsequent REST requests.Integration with Keystone
When you integrate Red Hat Gluster Storage Object Store with Keystone authentication, you must ensure that the Swift account name and Red Hat Gluster Storage volume name are the same. It is common that Red Hat Gluster Storage volumes are created before exposing them through the Red Hat Gluster Storage Object Store.
When working with Keystone, account names are defined by Keystone as thetenant id
. You must create the Red Hat Gluster Storage volume using the Keystonetenant id
as the name of the volume. This means, you must create the Keystone tenant before creating a Red Hat Gluster Storage Volume.Important
Red Hat Gluster Storage does not contain any Keystone server components. It only acts as a Keystone client. After you create a volume for Keystone, ensure to export this volume for accessing it using the object storage interface. For more information on exporting volume, see Section 25.6.8, “Exporting the Red Hat Gluster Storage Volumes”.Integration with GSwauthGSwauth is a Web Server Gateway Interface (WGSI) middleware that uses a Red Hat Gluster Storage Volume itself as its backing store to maintain its metadata. The benefit in this authentication service is to have the metadata available to all proxy servers and saving the data to a Red Hat Gluster Storage volume.
To protect the metadata, the Red Hat Gluster Storage volume should only be able to be mounted by the systems running the proxy servers. For more information on mounting volumes, see Chapter 7, Accessing Data - Setting Up Clients.Integration with TempAuthYou can also use the
TempAuth
authentication service to test Red Hat Gluster Storage Object Store in the data center.
