OpenRC

OpenStack credentials are stored in an .openrc file. It simply adds OpenStack’s connection settings into environment variables with a sh/bash compatible script.

OpenRC will pre-authenticate all OpenStack commands and can also be used to authenticate with tools like Terraform.

# OCS OpenRC Example
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=default
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=default
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=projectName
export OS_USERNAME=username
export OS_PASSWORD=password
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://api.ocs.oneqode.com:5000/v3
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
export OS_IMAGE_API_VERSION=2

The OpenRC file can be loaded with:

$ . openrc
