OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

swift works with OS_AUTH_URL but not '-A'

Asked by Josh Stillerman

I am trying to set up a simple openstack swift + keystone environment. I can get it to work if I define OS_AUTH_URL, but
when I instead specify -A and the same url I used in the environment variable I get "

Auth GET failed: http://localhost:5000/v2.0/ 200 OK

for example:

[jas@psfcstor1 swift]$ echo $OS_AUTH_URL
http://psfcstor1:5000/v2.0
[jas@psfcstor1 swift]$ swift -U demo:admin -K xxxx list
josh
nthoward
unique

the same thing -A
[jas@psfcstor1 swift]$ unset OS_AUTH_URL
[jas@psfcstor1 swift]$ swift -A http://psfcstor1:5000/v2.0 -U demo:admin -K xxxx list
Auth GET failed: http://psfcstor1:5000/v2.0/ 200 OK

I thought these should be equivalent ....

A bit more information.... If I ask keystone about the endpoints and grep it for the identity service I get:

[root@psfcstor1 ~]# keystone endpoint-list | grep 361e565ef6cc44cc8f93dc1c092dd8c0
| c42e3c8705684113aee96caf33ddd07b | RegionOne | http://localhost:$(public_port)s/v2.0 | http://localhost:$(public_port)s/v2.0 | http://localhost:$(admin_port)s/v2.0 | 361e565ef6cc44cc8f93dc1c092dd8c0 |

now localhost should work (I am logged on to the same computer) but I am guessing that some of these should be the external IP of the computer ?

I nice person on the openstack IRC solved this for me.

+creiht

suggested I use os_auth_url instead of -A, which worked. He explained that -A was deprecated.

hehe... well -A isn't deprecated, but part of the legacy auth arguments.
