httpie-keystone-auth 0.1.1

OpenStack Keystone auth plugin for HTTPie.

OpenStack Keystone auth plugin for HTTPie.

Installation

$ pip install --upgrade httpie-keystone-auth

You should now see keystone under --auth-type / -A in $ http --help output.

Usage

Plugin uses openstacksdk library to parse the clouds.yaml file and get the token from Keystone.

A simple example of a clouds.yaml file is:

clouds:
  mycloud:
    auth:
      auth_url: <url of keystone endpoint>
      username: <username>
      password: <password>
      user_domain_name: <user domain name>
      project_name: <name of the project to authorize to>
      project_domain_name: <domain of the project>
 othercloud:
   auth:
     . . .

Read more about the format of the file and where to place it in openstacksdk docs

Using env var

You can set OS_CLOUD env var to a name of one of the clouds in the clouds.yaml file, which will be then used by plugin:

export OS_CLOUD=mycloud
http -A keystone devstack.local/images/v2/images

Passing cloud name explicitly

Alternatively you can pass the name of the cloud from the clouds.yaml file to use as ‘username’ to HTTPie:

https -A keystone -a myothercloud images.othercloud.com/v2/images

Notes

For now tested only with standard password auth type of Keystone, but should work with any auth_type supported in the clouds.yaml file.

TODO

• simplify usage by allowing URLs in the form of <service-type-or-service-name> by getting them out from Keystone catalog of the cloud being used

• for password-like auth type, check that the password is provided in the clouds.yaml and prompt for password if it is not
