Creating and Managing Application Credentials via CLI
Note
The openstack CLI will need to be setup to interact with the FlexiHPC system. Please read Setting up your CLI environment to interact with FlexiHPC to get started.
Create Application Credential¶
Running the below command will generate a new Application Credential
openstack application credential create
[--secret <secret>]
[--role <role>]
[--expiration <expiration>]
[--description <description>]
[--unrestricted]
[--restricted]
[--access-rules <access-rules>]
<name>
--secret <secret>- Secret to use for authentication. If not provided, one will be generated
--role <role>- Roles to authorize (name or ID) (repeat option to set multiple values), if not provided this will default to same roles as the user that creates it
--expiration <expiration>- Sets an expiration date for the application credential, format of YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS, if not provided, the application credential will not expire.
--description <description>- Application credential description
--unrestricted- Enable application credential to create and delete other application credentials and trusts
Warning
This is potentially dangerous behavior and is disabled by default
--restricted- Prohibit application credential from creating and deleting other application credentials and trusts, this is enabled by default.
--access-rules <access-rules>- Either a string or file path containing a JSON-formatted list of access rules, each containing a request method, path, and service, for example ‘[{“method”: “GET”, “path”: “/v2.1/servers”, “service”: “compute”}]’
name- Name of the application credential
Command example below with only a name supplied
openstack application credential create wiki-test-app-creds
+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| description | None |
| expires_at | None |
| id | 0f81c516aa6e443dba0aec93b0bbd87e |
| name | wiki-test-app-creds |
| project_id | 4f07cc254d6c4471805d49bae1f739b9 |
| roles | heat_stack_owner reader _member_ load-balancer_member member |
| secret | <APPLICATION_CREDS_SECRET> |
| system | None |
| unrestricted | False |
| user_id | fb9a3d02c89e4cfdbe64658ad43ece97 |
+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note
Once the Application Credentails are created the secret will be displayed. You need to take note of this now as there is no way to get that secret again and a new Application Credential will need to be created should you misplace it.
List Application Credentials¶
Running the below command will list all Application Credentials in your project
openstack application credential list
+----------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------------+-------------+------------+
| ID | Name | Project ID | Description | Expires At |
+----------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------------+-------------+------------+
| 0f81c516aa6e443dba0aec93b0bbd87e | wiki-test-app-creds | 4f07cc254d6c4471805d49bae1f739b9 | None | None |
+----------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------------+-------------+------------+

Running the below command will present additional details about the Application Credentials
openstack application credential show APPLICATION_CRED_ID

Deleting Application Credentials¶
Run the command openstack application credential list to get the ID of the Application Credentials you would like to delete
Then with the ID run the below command to delete it
openstack application credential delete APPLICATION_CRED_ID
There will be no response, so you can run the list command again to confirm deletion
