Chapter 7. keystone

cache_time = None

integer value

Time to cache application credential data in seconds. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled.

caching = True

boolean value

Toggle for application credential caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the application credential backend driver in the keystone.application_credential namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there is no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

user_limit = -1

integer value

Maximum number of application credentials a user is permitted to create. A value of -1 means unlimited. If a limit is not set, users are permitted to create application credentials at will, which could lead to bloat in the keystone database or open keystone to a DoS attack.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the assignment backend driver (where role assignments are stored) in the keystone.assignment namespace. Only a SQL driver is supplied by keystone itself. Unless you are writing proprietary drivers for keystone, you do not need to set this option.

prohibited_implied_role = ['admin']

list value

A list of role names which are prohibited from being an implied role.

application_credential = None

string value

Entry point for the application_credential auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.application_credential namespace. You do not need to set this unless you are overriding keystone’s own application_credential authentication plugin.

external = None

string value

Entry point for the external (REMOTE_USER) auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.external namespace. Supplied drivers are DefaultDomain and Domain. The default driver is DefaultDomain, which assumes that all users identified by the username specified to keystone in the REMOTE_USER variable exist within the context of the default domain. The Domain option expects an additional environment variable be presented to keystone, REMOTE_DOMAIN, containing the domain name of the REMOTE_USER (if REMOTE_DOMAIN is not set, then the default domain will be used instead). You do not need to set this unless you are taking advantage of "external authentication", where the application server (such as Apache) is handling authentication instead of keystone.

mapped = None

string value

Entry point for the mapped auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.mapped namespace. You do not need to set this unless you are overriding keystone’s own mapped authentication plugin.

methods = ['external', 'password', 'token', 'oauth1', 'mapped', 'application_credential']

list value

Allowed authentication methods. Note: You should disable the external auth method if you are currently using federation. External auth and federation both use the REMOTE_USER variable. Since both the mapped and external plugin are being invoked to validate attributes in the request environment, it can cause conflicts.

oauth1 = None

string value

Entry point for the OAuth 1.0a auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.oauth1 namespace. You do not need to set this unless you are overriding keystone’s own oauth1 authentication plugin.

password = None

string value

Entry point for the password auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.password namespace. You do not need to set this unless you are overriding keystone’s own password authentication plugin.

token = None

string value

Entry point for the token auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.token namespace. You do not need to set this unless you are overriding keystone’s own token authentication plugin.

backend = dogpile.cache.null

string value

Cache backend module. For eventlet-based or environments with hundreds of threaded servers, Memcache with pooling (oslo_cache.memcache_pool) is recommended. For environments with less than 100 threaded servers, Memcached (dogpile.cache.memcached) or Redis (dogpile.cache.redis) is recommended. Test environments with a single instance of the server can use the dogpile.cache.memory backend.

Prefix for building the configuration dictionary for the cache region. This should not need to be changed unless there is another dogpile.cache region with the same configuration name.

debug_cache_backend = False

boolean value

Extra debugging from the cache backend (cache keys, get/set/delete/etc calls). This is only really useful if you need to see the specific cache-backend get/set/delete calls with the keys/values. Typically this should be left set to false.

enabled = True

boolean value

Global toggle for caching.

expiration_time = 600

integer value

Default TTL, in seconds, for any cached item in the dogpile.cache region. This applies to any cached method that doesn’t have an explicit cache expiration time defined for it.

memcache_dead_retry = 300

integer value

memcache_servers = ['localhost:11211']

list value

Memcache servers in the format of "host:port". (dogpile.cache.memcache and oslo_cache.memcache_pool backends only).

memcache_socket_timeout = 1.0

floating point value

Timeout in seconds for every call to a server. (dogpile.cache.memcache and oslo_cache.memcache_pool backends only).

proxies = []

list value

Proxy classes to import that will affect the way the dogpile.cache backend functions. See the dogpile.cache documentation on changing-backend-behavior.

tls_allowed_ciphers = None

string value

Set the available ciphers for sockets created with the TLS context. It should be a string in the OpenSSL cipher list format. If not specified, all OpenSSL enabled ciphers will be available.

tls_cafile = None

string value

Path to a file of concatenated CA certificates in PEM format necessary to establish the caching servers' authenticity. If tls_enabled is False, this option is ignored.

tls_certfile = None

string value

Path to a single file in PEM format containing the client’s certificate as well as any number of CA certificates needed to establish the certificate’s authenticity. This file is only required when client side authentication is necessary. If tls_enabled is False, this option is ignored.

tls_enabled = False

boolean value

Global toggle for TLS usage when comunicating with the caching servers.

tls_keyfile = None

string value

Path to a single file containing the client’s private key in. Otherwise the private key will be taken from the file specified in tls_certfile. If tls_enabled is False, this option is ignored.

cache_time = None

integer value

Time to cache catalog data (in seconds). This has no effect unless global and catalog caching are both enabled. Catalog data (services, endpoints, etc.) typically does not change frequently, and so a longer duration than the global default may be desirable.

caching = True

boolean value

Toggle for catalog caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to disable this.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the catalog driver in the keystone.catalog namespace. Keystone provides a sql option (which supports basic CRUD operations through SQL), a templated option (which loads the catalog from a templated catalog file on disk), and a endpoint_filter.sql option (which supports arbitrary service catalogs per project).

list_limit = None

integer value

Maximum number of entities that will be returned in a catalog collection. There is typically no reason to set this, as it would be unusual for a deployment to have enough services or endpoints to exceed a reasonable limit.

template_file = default_catalog.templates

string value

Absolute path to the file used for the templated catalog backend. This option is only used if the [catalog] driver is set to templated.

allow_credentials = True

boolean value

auth_ttl = 15

integer value

The length of time in minutes for which a signed EC2 or S3 token request is valid from the timestamp contained in the token request.

cache_time = None

integer value

Time to cache credential data in seconds. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled.

caching = True

boolean value

Toggle for caching only on retrieval of user credentials. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the credential backend driver in the keystone.credential namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there’s no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

key_repository = /etc/keystone/credential-keys/

string value

Directory containing Fernet keys used to encrypt and decrypt credentials stored in the credential backend. Fernet keys used to encrypt credentials have no relationship to Fernet keys used to encrypt Fernet tokens. Both sets of keys should be managed separately and require different rotation policies. Do not share this repository with the repository used to manage keys for Fernet tokens.

provider = fernet

string value

Entry point for credential encryption and decryption operations in the keystone.credential.provider namespace. Keystone only provides a fernet driver, so there’s no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point to encrypt and decrypt credentials.

backend = sqlalchemy

string value

The back end to use for the database.

connection = None

string value

The SQLAlchemy connection string to use to connect to the database.

connection_debug = 0

integer value

integer value

Seconds between retries of a database transaction.

max_overflow = 50

integer value

If set, use this value for max_overflow with SQLAlchemy.

max_pool_size = 5

integer value

Maximum number of SQL connections to keep open in a pool. Setting a value of 0 indicates no limit.

boolean value

If True, transparently enables support for handling MySQL Cluster (NDB).

mysql_sql_mode = TRADITIONAL

string value

The SQL mode to be used for MySQL sessions. This option, including the default, overrides any server-set SQL mode. To use whatever SQL mode is set by the server configuration, set this to no value. Example: mysql_sql_mode=

pool_timeout = None

integer value

If set, use this value for pool_timeout with SQLAlchemy.

integer value

Time-to-live (TTL, in seconds) to cache domain-specific configuration data. This has no effect unless [domain_config] caching is enabled.

caching = True

boolean value

Toggle for caching of the domain-specific configuration backend. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. There is normally no reason to disable this.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the domain-specific configuration driver in the keystone.resource.domain_config namespace. Only a sql option is provided by keystone, so there is no reason to set this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the endpoint filter driver in the keystone.endpoint_filter namespace. Only a sql option is provided by keystone, so there is no reason to set this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

return_all_endpoints_if_no_filter = True

boolean value

This controls keystone’s behavior if the configured endpoint filters do not result in any endpoints for a user + project pair (and therefore a potentially empty service catalog). If set to true, keystone will return the entire service catalog. If set to false, keystone will return an empty service catalog.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the endpoint policy driver in the keystone.endpoint_policy namespace. Only a sql driver is provided by keystone, so there is no reason to set this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

admin_bind_host = 0.0.0.0

host address value

The IP address of the network interface for the admin service to listen on. Deprecated since: K

*Reason:*Support for running keystone under eventlet has been removed in the Newton release. These options remain for backwards compatibility because they are used for URL substitutions.

admin_port = 35357

port value

The port number for the admin service to listen on. Deprecated since: K

*Reason:*Support for running keystone under eventlet has been removed in the Newton release. These options remain for backwards compatibility because they are used for URL substitutions.

public_bind_host = 0.0.0.0

host address value

The IP address of the network interface for the public service to listen on. Deprecated since: K

*Reason:*Support for running keystone under eventlet has been removed in the Newton release. These options remain for backwards compatibility because they are used for URL substitutions.

public_port = 5000

port value

The port number for the public service to listen on. Deprecated since: K

*Reason:*Support for running keystone under eventlet has been removed in the Newton release. These options remain for backwards compatibility because they are used for URL substitutions.

`assertion_prefix = `

string value

Prefix to use when filtering environment variable names for federated assertions. Matched variables are passed into the federated mapping engine.

caching = True

boolean value

Toggle for federation caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. There is typically no reason to disable this.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the federation backend driver in the keystone.federation namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there is no reason to set this option unless you are providing a custom entry point.

federated_domain_name = Federated

string value

An arbitrary domain name that is reserved to allow federated ephemeral users to have a domain concept. Note that an admin will not be able to create a domain with this name or update an existing domain to this name. You are not advised to change this value unless you really have to. Deprecated since: T

*Reason:*This option has been superseded by ephemeral users existing in the domain of their identity provider.

remote_id_attribute = None

string value

Default value for all protocols to be used to obtain the entity ID of the Identity Provider from the environment. For mod_shib, this would be Shib-Identity-Provider. For mod_auth_openidc, this could be HTTP_OIDC_ISS. For mod_auth_mellon, this could be MELLON_IDP. This can be overridden on a per-protocol basis by providing a remote_id_attribute to the federation protocol using the API.

sso_callback_template = /etc/keystone/sso_callback_template.html

string value

Absolute path to an HTML file used as a Single Sign-On callback handler. This page is expected to redirect the user from keystone back to a trusted dashboard host, by form encoding a token in a POST request. Keystone’s default value should be sufficient for most deployments.

trusted_dashboard = []

multi valued

A list of trusted dashboard hosts. Before accepting a Single Sign-On request to return a token, the origin host must be a member of this list. This configuration option may be repeated for multiple values. You must set this in order to use web-based SSO flows. For example: trusted_dashboard=https://acme.example.com/auth/websso trusted_dashboard=https://beta.example.com/auth/websso

key_repository = /etc/keystone/fernet-keys/

string value

Directory containing Fernet receipt keys. This directory must exist before using keystone-manage fernet_setup for the first time, must be writable by the user running keystone-manage fernet_setup or keystone-manage fernet_rotate, and of course must be readable by keystone’s server process. The repository may contain keys in one of three states: a single staged key (always index 0) used for receipt validation, a single primary key (always the highest index) used for receipt creation and validation, and any number of secondary keys (all other index values) used for receipt validation. With multiple keystone nodes, each node must share the same key repository contents, with the exception of the staged key (index 0). It is safe to run keystone-manage fernet_rotate once on any one node to promote a staged key (index 0) to be the new primary (incremented from the previous highest index), and produce a new staged key (a new key with index 0); the resulting repository can then be atomically replicated to other nodes without any risk of race conditions (for example, it is safe to run keystone-manage fernet_rotate on host A, wait any amount of time, create a tarball of the directory on host A, unpack it on host B to a temporary location, and atomically move (mv) the directory into place on host B). Running keystone-manage fernet_rotate twice on a key repository without syncing other nodes will result in receipts that can not be validated by all nodes.

max_active_keys = 3

integer value

This controls how many keys are held in rotation by keystone-manage fernet_rotate before they are discarded. The default value of 3 means that keystone will maintain one staged key (always index 0), one primary key (the highest numerical index), and one secondary key (every other index). Increasing this value means that additional secondary keys will be kept in the rotation.

key_repository = /etc/keystone/fernet-keys/

string value

Directory containing Fernet token keys. This directory must exist before using keystone-manage fernet_setup for the first time, must be writable by the user running keystone-manage fernet_setup or keystone-manage fernet_rotate, and of course must be readable by keystone’s server process. The repository may contain keys in one of three states: a single staged key (always index 0) used for token validation, a single primary key (always the highest index) used for token creation and validation, and any number of secondary keys (all other index values) used for token validation. With multiple keystone nodes, each node must share the same key repository contents, with the exception of the staged key (index 0). It is safe to run keystone-manage fernet_rotate once on any one node to promote a staged key (index 0) to be the new primary (incremented from the previous highest index), and produce a new staged key (a new key with index 0); the resulting repository can then be atomically replicated to other nodes without any risk of race conditions (for example, it is safe to run keystone-manage fernet_rotate on host A, wait any amount of time, create a tarball of the directory on host A, unpack it on host B to a temporary location, and atomically move (mv) the directory into place on host B). Running keystone-manage fernet_rotate twice on a key repository without syncing other nodes will result in tokens that can not be validated by all nodes.

max_active_keys = 3

integer value

This controls how many keys are held in rotation by keystone-manage fernet_rotate before they are discarded. The default value of 3 means that keystone will maintain one staged key (always index 0), one primary key (the highest numerical index), and one secondary key (every other index). Increasing this value means that additional secondary keys will be kept in the rotation.

backends = []

list value

Additional backends that can perform health checks and report that information back as part of a request.

detailed = False

boolean value

Show more detailed information as part of the response. Security note: Enabling this option may expose sensitive details about the service being monitored. Be sure to verify that it will not violate your security policies.

disable_by_file_path = None

string value

Check the presence of a file to determine if an application is running on a port. Used by DisableByFileHealthcheck plugin.

disable_by_file_paths = []

list value

Check the presence of a file based on a port to determine if an application is running on a port. Expects a "port:path" list of strings. Used by DisableByFilesPortsHealthcheck plugin.

path = /healthcheck

string value

The path to respond to healtcheck requests on.

cache_time = 600

integer value

Time to cache identity data (in seconds). This has no effect unless global and identity caching are enabled.

caching = True

boolean value

Toggle for identity caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. There is typically no reason to disable this.

default_domain_id = default

string value

This references the domain to use for all Identity API v2 requests (which are not aware of domains). A domain with this ID can optionally be created for you by keystone-manage bootstrap. The domain referenced by this ID cannot be deleted on the v3 API, to prevent accidentally breaking the v2 API. There is nothing special about this domain, other than the fact that it must exist to order to maintain support for your v2 clients. There is typically no reason to change this value.

domain_config_dir = /etc/keystone/domains

string value

Absolute path where keystone should locate domain-specific [identity] configuration files. This option has no effect unless [identity] domain_specific_drivers_enabled is set to true. There is typically no reason to change this value.

domain_configurations_from_database = False

boolean value

By default, domain-specific configuration data is read from files in the directory identified by [identity] domain_config_dir. Enabling this configuration option allows you to instead manage domain-specific configurations through the API, which are then persisted in the backend (typically, a SQL database), rather than using configuration files on disk.

domain_specific_drivers_enabled = False

boolean value

A subset (or all) of domains can have their own identity driver, each with their own partial configuration options, stored in either the resource backend or in a file in a domain configuration directory (depending on the setting of [identity] domain_configurations_from_database). Only values specific to the domain need to be specified in this manner. This feature is disabled by default, but may be enabled by default in a future release; set to true to enable.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the identity backend driver in the keystone.identity namespace. Keystone provides a sql and ldap driver. This option is also used as the default driver selection (along with the other configuration variables in this section) in the event that [identity] domain_specific_drivers_enabled is enabled, but no applicable domain-specific configuration is defined for the domain in question. Unless your deployment primarily relies on ldap AND is not using domain-specific configuration, you should typically leave this set to sql.

list_limit = None

integer value

Maximum number of entities that will be returned in an identity collection.

max_password_length = 4096

integer value

Maximum allowed length for user passwords. Decrease this value to improve performance. Changing this value does not effect existing passwords.

password_hash_algorithm = bcrypt

string value

The password hashing algorithm to use for passwords stored within keystone.

password_hash_rounds = None

integer value

This option represents a trade off between security and performance. Higher values lead to slower performance, but higher security. Changing this option will only affect newly created passwords as existing password hashes already have a fixed number of rounds applied, so it is safe to tune this option in a running cluster. The default for bcrypt is 12, must be between 4 and 31, inclusive. The default for scrypt is 16, must be within range(1,32). The default for pbkdf_sha512 is 60000, must be within range(1,1<<32) WARNING: If using scrypt, increasing this value increases BOTH time AND memory requirements to hash a password.

salt_bytesize = None

integer value

Number of bytes to use in scrypt and pbkfd2_sha512 hashing salt. Default for scrypt is 16 bytes. Default for pbkfd2_sha512 is 16 bytes. Limited to a maximum of 96 bytes due to the size of the column used to store password hashes.

scrypt_block_size = None

integer value

Optional block size to pass to scrypt hash function (the r parameter). Useful for tuning scrypt to optimal performance for your CPU architecture. This option is only used when the password_hash_algorithm option is set to scrypt. Defaults to 8.

scrypt_parallelism = None

integer value

Optional parallelism to pass to scrypt hash function (the p parameter). This option is only used when the password_hash_algorithm option is set to scrypt. Defaults to 1.

backward_compatible_ids = True

boolean value

The format of user and group IDs changed in Juno for backends that do not generate UUIDs (for example, LDAP), with keystone providing a hash mapping to the underlying attribute in LDAP. By default this mapping is disabled, which ensures that existing IDs will not change. Even when the mapping is enabled by using domain-specific drivers ([identity] domain_specific_drivers_enabled), any users and groups from the default domain being handled by LDAP will still not be mapped to ensure their IDs remain backward compatible. Setting this value to false will enable the new mapping for all backends, including the default LDAP driver. It is only guaranteed to be safe to enable this option if you do not already have assignments for users and groups from the default LDAP domain, and you consider it to be acceptable for Keystone to provide the different IDs to clients than it did previously (existing IDs in the API will suddenly change). Typically this means that the only time you can set this value to false is when configuring a fresh installation, although that is the recommended value.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the identity mapping backend driver in the keystone.identity.id_mapping namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there is no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

generator = sha256

string value

Entry point for the public ID generator for user and group entities in the keystone.identity.id_generator namespace. The Keystone identity mapper only supports generators that produce 64 bytes or less. Keystone only provides a sha256 entry point, so there is no reason to change this value unless you’re providing a custom entry point.

jws_private_key_repository = /etc/keystone/jws-keys/private

string value

Directory containing private keys for signing JWS tokens. This directory must exist in order for keystone’s server process to start. It must also be readable by keystone’s server process. It must contain at least one private key that corresponds to a public key in keystone.conf [jwt_tokens] jws_public_key_repository. In the event there are multiple private keys in this directory, keystone will use a key named private.pem to sign tokens. In the future, keystone may support the ability to sign tokens with multiple private keys. For now, only a key named private.pem within this directory is required to issue JWS tokens. This option is only applicable in deployments issuing JWS tokens and setting keystone.conf [token] provider = jws.

jws_public_key_repository = /etc/keystone/jws-keys/public

string value

Directory containing public keys for validating JWS token signatures. This directory must exist in order for keystone’s server process to start. It must also be readable by keystone’s server process. It must contain at least one public key that corresponds to a private key in keystone.conf [jwt_tokens] jws_private_key_repository. This option is only applicable in deployments issuing JWS tokens and setting keystone.conf [token] provider = jws.

alias_dereferencing = default

string value

The LDAP dereferencing option to use for queries involving aliases. A value of default falls back to using default dereferencing behavior configured by your ldap.conf. A value of never prevents aliases from being dereferenced at all. A value of searching dereferences aliases only after name resolution. A value of finding dereferences aliases only during name resolution. A value of always dereferences aliases in all cases.

auth_pool_connection_lifetime = 60

integer value

auth_pool_size = 100

integer value

The size of the connection pool to use for end user authentication. This option has no effect unless [ldap] use_auth_pool is also enabled.

chase_referrals = None

boolean value

Sets keystone’s referral chasing behavior across directory partitions. If left unset, the system’s default behavior will be used.

connection_timeout = -1

integer value

The connection timeout to use with the LDAP server. A value of -1 means that connections will never timeout.

debug_level = None

integer value

Sets the LDAP debugging level for LDAP calls. A value of 0 means that debugging is not enabled. This value is a bitmask, consult your LDAP documentation for possible values.

group_ad_nesting = False

boolean value

If enabled, group queries will use Active Directory specific filters for nested groups.

group_additional_attribute_mapping = []

list value

A list of LDAP attribute to keystone group attribute pairs used for mapping additional attributes to groups in keystone. The expected format is <ldap_attr>:<group_attr>, where ldap_attr is the attribute in the LDAP object and group_attr is the attribute which should appear in the identity API.

group_attribute_ignore = []

list value

List of group attributes to ignore on create and update. or whether a specific group attribute should be filtered for list or show group.

group_desc_attribute = description

string value

The LDAP attribute mapped to group descriptions in keystone.

group_filter = None

string value

The LDAP search filter to use for groups.

group_id_attribute = cn

string value

The LDAP attribute mapped to group IDs in keystone. This must NOT be a multivalued attribute. Group IDs are expected to be globally unique across keystone domains and URL-safe.

group_member_attribute = member

string value

The LDAP attribute used to indicate that a user is a member of the group.

group_members_are_ids = False

boolean value

Enable this option if the members of the group object class are keystone user IDs rather than LDAP DNs. This is the case when using posixGroup as the group object class in Open Directory.

group_name_attribute = ou

string value

The LDAP attribute mapped to group names in keystone. Group names are expected to be unique only within a keystone domain and are not expected to be URL-safe.

group_objectclass = groupOfNames

string value

The LDAP object class to use for groups. If setting this option to posixGroup, you may also be interested in enabling the [ldap] group_members_are_ids option.

group_tree_dn = None

string value

The search base to use for groups. Defaults to the [ldap] suffix value.

page_size = 0

integer value

Defines the maximum number of results per page that keystone should request from the LDAP server when listing objects. A value of zero (0) disables paging.

password = None

string value

The password of the administrator bind DN to use when querying the LDAP server, if your LDAP server requires it.

user_enabled_emulation = False

boolean value

If enabled, keystone uses an alternative method to determine if a user is enabled or not by checking if they are a member of the group defined by the [ldap] user_enabled_emulation_dn option. Enabling this option causes keystone to ignore the value of [ldap] user_enabled_invert.

Logically negate the boolean value of the enabled attribute obtained from the LDAP server. Some LDAP servers use a boolean lock attribute where "true" means an account is disabled. Setting [ldap] user_enabled_invert = true will allow these lock attributes to be used. This option will have no effect if either the [ldap] user_enabled_mask or [ldap] user_enabled_emulation options are in use.

user_enabled_mask = 0

integer value

Bitmask integer to select which bit indicates the enabled value if the LDAP server represents "enabled" as a bit on an integer rather than as a discrete boolean. A value of 0 indicates that the mask is not used. If this is not set to 0 the typical value is 2. This is typically used when [ldap] user_enabled_attribute = userAccountControl.

This is the single sign-on (SSO) service location of the identity provider which accepts HTTP POST requests. A value is required to generate identity provider metadata. For example: https://keystone.example.com/v3/OS-FEDERATION/saml2/sso.

keyfile = /etc/keystone/ssl/private/signing_key.pem

string value

Absolute path to the private key file to use for SAML signing. The value cannot contain a comma (,).

relay_state_prefix = ss:mem:

string value

The prefix of the RelayState SAML attribute to use when generating enhanced client and proxy (ECP) assertions. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to change this value.

xmlsec1_binary = xmlsec1

string value

Name of, or absolute path to, the binary to be used for XML signing. Although only the XML Security Library (xmlsec1) is supported, it may have a non-standard name or path on your system. If keystone cannot find the binary itself, you may need to install the appropriate package, use this option to specify an absolute path, or adjust keystone’s PATH environment variable.

change_password_upon_first_use = False

boolean value

Enabling this option requires users to change their password when the user is created, or upon administrative reset. Before accessing any services, affected users will have to change their password. To ignore this requirement for specific users, such as service users, set the options attribute ignore_change_password_upon_first_use to True for the desired user via the update user API. This feature is disabled by default. This feature is only applicable with the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

disable_user_account_days_inactive = None

integer value

The maximum number of days a user can go without authenticating before being considered "inactive" and automatically disabled (locked). This feature is disabled by default; set any value to enable it. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver. When a user exceeds this threshold and is considered "inactive", the user’s enabled attribute in the HTTP API may not match the value of the user’s enabled column in the user table.

lockout_duration = 1800

integer value

The number of seconds a user account will be locked when the maximum number of failed authentication attempts (as specified by [security_compliance] lockout_failure_attempts) is exceeded. Setting this option will have no effect unless you also set [security_compliance] lockout_failure_attempts to a non-zero value. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

lockout_failure_attempts = None

integer value

The maximum number of times that a user can fail to authenticate before the user account is locked for the number of seconds specified by [security_compliance] lockout_duration. This feature is disabled by default. If this feature is enabled and [security_compliance] lockout_duration is not set, then users may be locked out indefinitely until the user is explicitly enabled via the API. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

minimum_password_age = 0

integer value

The number of days that a password must be used before the user can change it. This prevents users from changing their passwords immediately in order to wipe out their password history and reuse an old password. This feature does not prevent administrators from manually resetting passwords. It is disabled by default and allows for immediate password changes. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver. Note: If [security_compliance] password_expires_days is set, then the value for this option should be less than the password_expires_days.

password_expires_days = None

integer value

The number of days for which a password will be considered valid before requiring it to be changed. This feature is disabled by default. If enabled, new password changes will have an expiration date, however existing passwords would not be impacted. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

password_regex = None

string value

The regular expression used to validate password strength requirements. By default, the regular expression will match any password. The following is an example of a pattern which requires at least 1 letter, 1 digit, and have a minimum length of 7 characters: ^(?=.\d)(?=.[a-zA-Z]).{7,}$ This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

password_regex_description = None

string value

Describe your password regular expression here in language for humans. If a password fails to match the regular expression, the contents of this configuration variable will be returned to users to explain why their requested password was insufficient.

unique_last_password_count = 0

integer value

This controls the number of previous user password iterations to keep in history, in order to enforce that newly created passwords are unique. The total number which includes the new password should not be greater or equal to this value. Setting the value to zero (the default) disables this feature. Thus, to enable this feature, values must be greater than 0. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the shadow users backend driver in the keystone.identity.shadow_users namespace. This driver is used for persisting local user references to externally-managed identities (via federation, LDAP, etc). Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there is no reason to change this option unless you are providing a custom entry point.

allow_expired_window = 172800

integer value

This controls the number of seconds that a token can be retrieved for beyond the built-in expiry time. This allows long running operations to succeed. Defaults to two days.

allow_rescope_scoped_token = True

boolean value

This toggles whether scoped tokens may be re-scoped to a new project or domain, thereby preventing users from exchanging a scoped token (including those with a default project scope) for any other token. This forces users to either authenticate for unscoped tokens (and later exchange that unscoped token for tokens with a more specific scope) or to provide their credentials in every request for a scoped token to avoid re-scoping altogether.

cache_on_issue = True

boolean value

Enable storing issued token data to token validation cache so that first token validation doesn’t actually cause full validation cycle. This option has no effect unless global caching is enabled and will still cache tokens even if [token] caching = False. Deprecated since: S

*Reason:*Keystone already exposes a configuration option for caching tokens. Having a separate configuration option to cache tokens when they are issued is redundant, unnecessarily complicated, and is misleading if token caching is disabled because tokens will still be pre-cached by default when they are issued. The ability to pre-cache tokens when they are issued is going to rely exclusively on the ``keystone.conf [token] caching`` option in the future.

cache_time = None

integer value

The number of seconds to cache token creation and validation data. This has no effect unless both global and [token] caching are enabled.

caching = True

boolean value

Toggle for caching token creation and validation data. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled.

expiration = 3600

integer value

The amount of time that a token should remain valid (in seconds). Drastically reducing this value may break "long-running" operations that involve multiple services to coordinate together, and will force users to authenticate with keystone more frequently. Drastically increasing this value will increase the number of tokens that will be simultaneously valid. Keystone tokens are also bearer tokens, so a shorter duration will also reduce the potential security impact of a compromised token.

provider = fernet

string value

Entry point for the token provider in the keystone.token.provider namespace. The token provider controls the token construction, validation, and revocation operations. Supported upstream providers are fernet and jws. Neither fernet or jws tokens require persistence and both require additional setup. If using fernet, you’re required to run keystone-manage fernet_setup, which creates symmetric keys used to encrypt tokens. If using jws, you’re required to generate an ECDSA keypair using a SHA-256 hash algorithm for signing and validating token, which can be done with keystone-manage create_jws_keypair. Note that fernet tokens are encrypted and jws tokens are only signed. Please be sure to consider this if your deployment has security requirements regarding payload contents used to generate token IDs.

revoke_by_id = True

boolean value

This toggles support for revoking individual tokens by the token identifier and thus various token enumeration operations (such as listing all tokens issued to a specific user). These operations are used to determine the list of tokens to consider revoked. Do not disable this option if you’re using the kvs [revoke] driver.

issuer_attribute = SSL_CLIENT_I_DN

string value

The name of the WSGI environment variable used to pass the issuer of the client certificate to keystone. This attribute is used as an identity provider ID for the X.509 tokenless authorization along with the protocol to look up its corresponding mapping. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to change this value.

protocol = x509

string value

The federated protocol ID used to represent X.509 tokenless authorization. This is used in combination with the value of [tokenless_auth] issuer_attribute to find a corresponding federated mapping. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to change this value.

trusted_issuer = []

multi valued

The list of distinguished names which identify trusted issuers of client certificates allowed to use X.509 tokenless authorization. If the option is absent then no certificates will be allowed. The format for the values of a distinguished name (DN) must be separated by a comma and contain no spaces. Furthermore, because an individual DN may contain commas, this configuration option may be repeated multiple times to represent multiple values. For example, keystone.conf would include two consecutive lines in order to trust two different DNs, such as trusted_issuer = CN=john,OU=keystone,O=openstack and trusted_issuer = CN=mary,OU=eng,O=abc.

included_previous_windows = 1

integer value

The number of previous windows to check when processing TOTP passcodes.

allow_redelegation = False

boolean value

Allows authorization to be redelegated from one user to another, effectively chaining trusts together. When disabled, the remaining_uses attribute of a trust is constrained to be zero.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the trust backend driver in the keystone.trust namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there is no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

max_redelegation_count = 3

integer value

Maximum number of times that authorization can be redelegated from one user to another in a chain of trusts. This number may be reduced further for a specific trust.

cache_time = None

integer value

Time to cache unified limit data, in seconds. This has no effect unless both global caching and [unified_limit] caching are enabled.

caching = True

boolean value

Toggle for unified limit caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to disable this.

driver = sql

string value

Entry point for the unified limit backend driver in the keystone.unified_limit namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there’s no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

enforcement_model = flat

string value

The enforcement model to use when validating limits associated to projects. Enforcement models will behave differently depending on the existing limits, which may result in backwards incompatible changes if a model is switched in a running deployment.

list_limit = None

integer value

Maximum number of entities that will be returned in a role collection. This may be useful to tune if you have a large number of unified limits in your deployment.

debug_middleware = False

boolean value

If set to true, this enables the oslo debug middleware in Keystone. This Middleware prints a lot of information about the request and the response. It is useful for getting information about the data on the wire (decoded) and passed to the WSGI application pipeline. This middleware has no effect on the "debug" setting in the [DEFAULT] section of the config file or setting Keystone’s log-level to "DEBUG"; it is specific to debugging the WSGI data as it enters and leaves Keystone (specific request-related data). This option is used for introspection on the request and response data between the web server (apache, nginx, etc) and Keystone. This middleware is inserted as the first element in the middleware chain and will show the data closest to the wire. WARNING: NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN PRODUCTION. THIS MIDDLEWARE CAN AND WILL EMIT SENSITIVE/PRIVILEGED DATA.
