Creating the Service User's Name and Password

The Service User's Name and Password are a set of credentials that HCP uses to authenticate itself with Keystone. The Service User's Name and Password should be set on the Keystone services tenant. It is recommended to make a new service user for HCP.

Before you begin

To configure HCP to integrate with Keystone, you need a user account with the administrator role.

Procedure

  1. On your Keystone Python client, enter Keystone tenant-list.

  2. Copy the Services Tenant Id

  3. Enter keystone user-create --name <New-Service-User's-username> --pass <New-Service-User's-password> --tenant-id services-tenant-id

    A Property/Value table appears confirming the creation of a new service user.
  4. Record your new Service User's Name and Password for future use.
