OpenStack Object Storage
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Object Storage is used to connect to an OpenStack Swift server.
|
|
Two authentication mechanisms are available: one is the generic OpenStack
|
|
mechanism, and the other is used exclusively for Rackspace, a provider of object
|
|
storage that uses the OpenStack Swift protocol.
|
|
|
|
The bucket will be created if it does not exist.
|
|
|
|
The OpenStack authentication mechanism uses the OpenStack Keystone v2
|
|
protocol, connecting to the server specified in the **URL of Identity
|
|
Endpoint** field. You need your **Username**, **Tenant name** and **Password**.
|
|
|
|
The Rackspace authentication mechanism requires a Rackspace **Username** and
|
|
**API key**.
|
|
|
|
It may be necessary to specify a **Service name** or **Region**. The timeout of
|
|
HTTP requests is set in the **Request timeout** field, in seconds.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`../external_storage_configuration_gui` for additional mount
|
|
options and information.

|
|
|
See :doc:`auth_mechanisms` for more information on authentication schemes.
