OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

Swauth: Account creation failed: 500 server error

Asked by Amit Jain

Hi all,

I've installed Swift as Swift-all-in-one as described in the

http://www.slideshare.net/joshuamckenty/openstack-swift-msst-2011-tutorial-day

the above describes Swift installation when Swauth was part of Swift. To work with current version, I had to install Swauth as a separate component.

That went good and I'm able to get proxy server up and running along with other components.

Doing this

swauth-prep -K swauthkey -U '.super_admin' -A https://192.168.6.128:443/auth/

works fine.

Now when I try to add users doing below:

swauth-add-user -K swauthkey -U '.super_admin' -A https://192.168.6.128:443/auth/ -a test tester testing

I get Account creation failed: 500 Server Error.

Seems like part of this command is working as when I do

swauth-list -K swauthkey -U '.super_admin' -A https://192.168.6.128:443/auth/

I see that the account has been added:

{"accounts": [{"name": "test"}]}

Could you help me to know what I'm doing wrong.

Here is my account server configuration:

[DEFAULT]
devices = /srv/1/node
mount_check = false
bind_port = 6012
user = swiftdemo
log_facility = LOG_LOCAL2

[pipeline:main]
pipeline = account-server

[app:account-server]
use = egg:swift#account

[account-replicator]
vm_test_mode = yes

[account-auditor]

[account-reaper]

And my proxy server configuration is:

[DEFAULT]
bind_port = 443
bind_ip = 192.168.6.128
cert_file = /etc/swift/cert.crt
key_file = /etc/swift/cert.key
user = swiftdemo
log_facility = LOG_LOCAL1

[pipeline:main]
pipeline = healthcheck cache swauth proxy-server

[app:proxy-server]
use = egg:swift#proxy
allow_account_management = true

[filter:swauth]
use = egg:swauth#swauth
set log_name = swauth
super_admin_key = swauthkey
default_swift_cluster = local#https://127.0.0.1:443/v1

[filter:healthcheck]
use = egg:swift#healthcheck

[filter:cache]
use = egg:swift#memcache

The swift.conf only has the configuration for swauthkey.

Please let me know if anything else is needed.
Thanks for help,
Amit

Try to modify "default_swift_cluster" in "[filter:swauth]" section as following:

default_swift_cluster = local#https://192.168.6.128:443/v1#https://127.0.0.1:443/v1

Then restart swift.

Another trick is to use https://github.com/btorch/swift-saio.sh, it will configure everything for you (with swauth).
