This package provides plugins to keystoneauth1 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keystoneauth1/>_, the OpenStack Keystone authentication library, for Rackspace's supported authentication methods: API key, password, and token.

Usage

The following example authenticates Mayor McCheese with his API key, as found in his control panel <https://mycloud.rackspace.com/>_. ::

from rackspaceauth import v2
from keystoneauth1 import session

auth = v2.APIKey(username="Mayor McCheese",
                 api_key="OMGCHEESEISGREAT")

sess = session.Session(auth=auth)
sess.get_token()

To use in a clouds.yaml <https://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config/#config-files>_ file, for use with shade, ansible, os-client-config, and other tools, one might add a section like this::

clouds:
  rackspace-iad
    profile: rackspace
    auth:
      username: mayor-mccheese
      api_key: OMGCHEESEISGREAT
    auth_type: rackspace_apikey
    region_name: IAD
