Authentication With Keystone
============================

Glance may optionally be integrated with Keystone.  Setting this up is
relatively straightforward, as the Keystone distribution includes the
necessary middleware. Once you have installed Keystone
and edited your configuration files, newly created images will have
their `owner` attribute set to the tenant of the authenticated users,
and the `is_public` attribute will cause access to those images for
which it is `false` to be restricted to only the owner, users with
admin context, or tenants/users with whom the image has been shared.


Configuring the Glance servers to use Keystone
----------------------------------------------

Keystone is integrated with Glance through the use of middleware. The
default configuration files for both the Glance API and the Glance
Registry use a single piece of middleware called ``unauthenticated-context``,
which generates a request context containing blank authentication
information. In order to configure Glance to use Keystone, the
``authtoken`` and ``context`` middlewares must be deployed in place of the
``unauthenticated-context`` middleware. The ``authtoken`` middleware performs
the authentication token validation and retrieves actual user authentication
information. It can be found in the Keystone distribution.

.. include:: ../deprecate-registry.inc


Configuring Glance API to use Keystone
--------------------------------------

Configuring Glance API to use Keystone is relatively straight
forward.  The first step is to ensure that declarations for the two
pieces of middleware exist in the ``glance-api-paste.ini``.  Here is
an example for ``authtoken``::

  [filter:authtoken]
  paste.filter_factory = keystonemiddleware.auth_token:filter_factory
  auth_url = http://localhost:5000
  project_domain_id = default
  project_name = service_admins
  user_domain_id = default
  username = glance_admin
  password = password1234

The actual values for these variables will need to be set depending on
your situation.  For more information, please refer to the Keystone
`documentation`_ on the ``auth_token`` middleware.

.. _`documentation`: https://docs.openstack.org/keystonemiddleware/latest/middlewarearchitecture.html#configuration

In short:

* The ``auth_url`` variable points to the Keystone service.
  This information is used by the middleware to actually query Keystone about
  the validity of the authentication tokens.
* The auth credentials (``project_name``, ``project_domain_id``,
  ``user_domain_id``, ``username``, and ``password``) will be used to
  retrieve a service token. That token will be used to authorize user
  tokens behind the scenes.

Finally, to actually enable using Keystone authentication, the
application pipeline must be modified.  By default, it looks like::

  [pipeline:glance-api]
  pipeline = versionnegotiation unauthenticated-context apiv1app

Your particular pipeline may vary depending on other options, such as
the image cache. This must be changed by replacing ``unauthenticated-context``
with ``authtoken`` and ``context``::

  [pipeline:glance-api]
  pipeline = versionnegotiation authtoken context apiv1app


Configuring Glance Registry to use Keystone
-------------------------------------------

.. include:: ../deprecate-registry.inc

Configuring Glance Registry to use Keystone is also relatively
straight forward.  The same middleware needs to be added
to ``glance-registry-paste.ini`` as was needed by Glance API;
see above for an example of the ``authtoken`` configuration.

Again, to enable using Keystone authentication, the appropriate
application pipeline must be selected.  By default, it looks like::

  [pipeline:glance-registry-keystone]
  pipeline = authtoken context registryapp

To enable the above application pipeline, in your main ``glance-registry.conf``
configuration file, select the appropriate deployment flavor by adding a
``flavor`` attribute in the ``paste_deploy`` group::

  [paste_deploy]
  flavor = keystone

.. note::
  If your authentication service uses a role other than ``admin`` to identify
  which users should be granted admin-level privileges, you must define it
  in the ``admin_role`` config attribute in both ``glance-registry.conf`` and
  ``glance-api.conf``.
