Currently I am using (of course with more elaborate variables):
conn = openstack.connect(
load_yaml_config=False,
load_envvars=False,
auth_url=AL,
project_name=PN,
username=UN,
password=PW,
region_name=RN,
user_domain_name=UDN,
project_domain_name=PDN,
app_name=42,
app_version=42
)
to connect to projects. But in the future I would like to offer using application credentials, too. While there is plenty of documentation on how to authenticate with said credentials, I can't find anything about authenticating a connection with it. How is it done?
So what I am looking for is a way to create a connection without username and password, but credentials instead.
Existing authenticated session
This might be an option:
From existing authenticated Session
-----------------------------------
For applications that already have an authenticated Session, simply passing
it to the :class:`~openstack.connection.Connection` constructor is all that
is needed:
.. code-block:: python
from openstack import connection
conn = connection.Connection(
session=session,
region_name='example-region',
compute_api_version='2',
identity_interface='internal')
but I have to investigate further.
I couldn't find any documentation, but apparently it is possible to create a connection like this:
openstack.connect(
load_yaml_config=False,
load_envvars=False,
auth_url=AU,
region_name=RN,
application_credential_id=ACI,
application_credential_secret=ACS,
auth_type=AT
)
and that will return a connection object just like before. auth_type
has to be "v3applicationcredential"
when using application credentials.
