Create a credential on OpenStack

Cloudbreak works by connecting your OpenStack account through this credential, and then uses it to create resources on your behalf. Before you can start provisioning cluster using Cloudbreak, you must create a credential.

Steps

1. In the Cloudbreak web UI, select Credentials from the navigation pane.
2. Click Create Credential.
3. Under Cloud provider, select “OpenStack”.
4. Select the keystone version.
5. Provide the following information:

   For Keystone v2:

   Parameter	Description
   Name	Enter a name for your credential.
   Description	(Optional) Enter a description.
   User	Enter your OpenStack user name.
   Password	Enter your OpenStack password.
   Tenant Name	Enter the OpenStack tenant name.
   Endpoint	Enter the OpenStack endpoint.
   API Facing	(Optional) Select public, private, or internal.

   For Keystone v3:

   Parameter	Description
   Keystone scope	Select the scope: default, domain, or project.
   Name	Enter a name for your credential.
   Description	(Optional) Enter a description.
   User	Enter your OpenStack user name.
   Password	Enter your OpenStack password.
   User Domain	Enter your OpenStack user domain.
   Endpoint	Enter the OpenStack endpoint.
