HCP Tenant Management Help


Configuring Keystone

Keystone is an OpenStack identity service that supports token-based authorization for the HSwift access protocol. Keystone generates authentication tokens with a predetermined expiration timer that are used to identify users attempting to store and manage containers and objects.

An HCP system can be configured to use Keystone to authenticate and authorize users and their incoming storage management requests. To configure HCP to integrate with Keystone, you need a user account with the administrator role.

For information about alternative methods of HSwift authentication, see Alternate authentication methods.
