API Configuration options

Configuration

The Identity service is configured in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf file.

The following tables provide a comprehensive list of the Identity service options.

For a sample configuration file, refer to keystone.conf.

DEFAULT

debug

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Mutable:

This option can be changed without restarting.

If set to true, the logging level will be set to DEBUG instead of the default INFO level.

log_config_append

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Mutable:

This option can be changed without restarting.

The name of a logging configuration file. This file is appended to any existing logging configuration files. For details about logging configuration files, see the Python logging module documentation. Note that when logging configuration files are used then all logging configuration is set in the configuration file and other logging configuration options are ignored (for example, log-date-format).

Deprecated Variations

Group	Name
DEFAULT	log-config
DEFAULT	log_config

log_date_format

Type:

string

Default:

%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

Defines the format string for %(asctime)s in log records. Default: the value above . This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

log_file

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

(Optional) Name of log file to send logging output to. If no default is set, logging will go to stderr as defined by use_stderr. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Deprecated Variations

Group	Name
DEFAULT	logfile

log_dir

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

(Optional) The base directory used for relative log_file paths. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Deprecated Variations

Group	Name
DEFAULT	logdir

watch_log_file

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Uses logging handler designed to watch file system. When log file is moved or removed this handler will open a new log file with specified path instantaneously. It makes sense only if log_file option is specified and Linux platform is used. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

Reason:

This function is known to have bene broken for long time, and depends on the unmaintained library

use_syslog

Default:

False

Enable journald for logging. If running in a systemd environment you may wish to enable journal support. Doing so will use the journal native protocol which includes structured metadata in addition to log messages.This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

syslog_log_facility

Type:

string

Default:

LOG_USER

Syslog facility to receive log lines. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Default:

False

Enables or disables fatal status of deprecations.

admin_token

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Using this feature is NOT recommended. Instead, use the keystone-manage bootstrap command. The value of this option is treated as a “shared secret” that can be used to bootstrap Keystone through the API. This “token” does not represent a user (it has no identity), and carries no explicit authorization (it effectively bypasses most authorization checks). If set to None, the value is ignored and the admin_token middleware is effectively disabled.

public_endpoint

Type:

URI

Default:

<None>

The base public endpoint URL for Keystone that is advertised to clients (NOTE: this does NOT affect how Keystone listens for connections). Defaults to the base host URL of the request. For example, if keystone receives a request to http://server:5000/v3/users, then this will option will be automatically treated as http://server:5000. You should only need to set option if either the value of the base URL contains a path that keystone does not automatically infer (/prefix/v3), or if the endpoint should be found on a different host.

max_project_tree_depth

Type:

list_limit

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

The maximum number of entities that will be returned in a collection. This global limit may be then overridden for a specific driver, by specifying a list_limit in the appropriate section (for example, [assignment]). No limit is set by default. In larger deployments, it is recommended that you set this to a reasonable number to prevent operations like listing all users and projects from placing an unnecessary load on the system.

strict_password_check

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

If set to true, strict password length checking is performed for password manipulation. If a password exceeds the maximum length, the operation will fail with an HTTP 403 Forbidden error. If set to false, passwords are automatically truncated to the maximum length.

insecure_debug

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

If set to true, then the server will return information in HTTP responses that may allow an unauthenticated or authenticated user to get more information than normal, such as additional details about why authentication failed. This may be useful for debugging but is insecure.

default_publisher_id

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Default publisher_id for outgoing notifications. If left undefined, Keystone will default to using the server’s host name.

notification_format

Type:

string

Default:

cadf

Valid Values:

basic, cadf

Define the notification format for identity service events. A basic notification only has information about the resource being operated on. A cadf notification has the same information, as well as information about the initiator of the event. The cadf option is entirely backwards compatible with the basic option, but is fully CADF-compliant, and is recommended for auditing use cases.

notification_opt_out

Type:

multi-valued

Default:

identity.authenticate.success

Default:

identity.authenticate.pending

You can reduce the number of notifications keystone emits by explicitly opting out. Keystone will not emit notifications that match the patterns expressed in this list. Values are expected to be in the form of identity.<resource_type>.<operation>. By default, all notifications related to authentication are automatically suppressed. This field can be set multiple times in order to opt-out of multiple notification topics. For example, the following suppresses notifications describing user creation or successful authentication events: notification_opt_out=identity.user.create notification_opt_out=identity.authenticate.success

rpc_conn_pool_size

Type:

False

Add an endpoint to answer to ping calls. Endpoint is named oslo_rpc_server_ping

application_credential

driver

Type:

string

Default:

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Toggle for application credential caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled.

cache_time

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Time to cache application credential data in seconds. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled.

user_limit

Type:

integer

Default:

assignment

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the assignment backend driver (where role assignments are stored) in the keystone.assignment namespace. Only a SQL driver is supplied by keystone itself. Unless you are writing proprietary drivers for keystone, you do not need to set this option.

A list of role names which are prohibited from being an implied role.

auth

methods

Type:

list

Default:

['external', 'password', 'token', 'oauth1', 'mapped', 'application_credential']

Allowed authentication methods. Note: You should disable the external auth method if you are currently using federation. External auth and federation both use the REMOTE_USER variable. Since both the mapped and external plugin are being invoked to validate attributes in the request environment, it can cause conflicts.

password

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Entry point for the password auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.password namespace. You do not need to set this unless you are overriding keystone’s own password authentication plugin.

token

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Entry point for the token auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.token namespace. You do not need to set this unless you are overriding keystone’s own token authentication plugin.

external

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Entry point for the external (REMOTE_USER) auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.external namespace. Supplied drivers are DefaultDomain and Domain. The default driver is DefaultDomain, which assumes that all users identified by the username specified to keystone in the REMOTE_USER variable exist within the context of the default domain. The Domain option expects an additional environment variable be presented to keystone, REMOTE_DOMAIN, containing the domain name of the REMOTE_USER (if REMOTE_DOMAIN is not set, then the default domain will be used instead). You do not need to set this unless you are taking advantage of “external authentication”, where the application server (such as Apache) is handling authentication instead of keystone.

oauth1

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Entry point for the OAuth 1.0a auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.oauth1 namespace. You do not need to set this unless you are overriding keystone’s own oauth1 authentication plugin.

mapped

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Entry point for the mapped auth plugin module in the keystone.auth.mapped namespace. You do not need to set this unless you are overriding keystone’s own mapped authentication plugin.

For environments with less than 100 threaded servers, Memcached (dogpile.cache.memcached) or Redis (dogpile.cache.redis) is recommended. Test environments with a single instance of the server can use the dogpile.cache.memory backend.

backend_argument

memcache_servers

Type:

list

Default:

['localhost:11211']

Memcache servers in the format of “host:port”. This is used by backends dependent on Memcached.If dogpile.cache.memcached or oslo_cache.memcache_pool is used and a given host refer to an IPv6 or a given domain refer to IPv6 then you should prefix the given address with the address family (inet6) (e.g inet6[::1]:11211, inet6:[fd12:3456:789a:1::1]:11211, inet6:[controller-0.internalapi]:11211).

provider

Type:

string

Default:

fernet

Entry point for credential encryption and decryption operations in the keystone.credential.provider namespace. Keystone only provides a fernet driver, so there’s no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point to encrypt and decrypt credentials.

domain_config

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the domain-specific configuration driver in the keystone.resource.domain_config namespace. Only a sql option is provided by keystone, so there is no reason to set this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

caching

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Toggle for caching of the domain-specific configuration backend. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. There is normally no reason to disable this.

cache_time

Type:

integer

Default:

300

Time-to-live (TTL, in seconds) to cache domain-specific configuration data. This has no effect unless [domain_config] caching is enabled.

additional_whitelisted_options

Additional sensitive domain-specific options for out-of-tree drivers. This is a dictonary of lists with the key being the group name and value a list of group options.

endpoint_filter

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the endpoint filter driver in the keystone.endpoint_filter namespace. Only a sql option is provided by keystone, so there is no reason to set this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

return_all_endpoints_if_no_filter

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

This controls keystone’s behavior if the configured endpoint filters do not result in any endpoints for a user + project pair (and therefore a potentially empty service catalog). If set to true, keystone will return the entire service catalog. If set to false, keystone will return an empty service catalog.

endpoint_policy

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the endpoint policy driver in the keystone.endpoint_policy namespace. Only a sql driver is provided by keystone, so there is no reason to set this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

federation

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the federation backend driver in the keystone.federation namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there is no reason to set this option unless you are providing a custom entry point.

assertion_prefix

Type:

string

Default:

''

Prefix to use when filtering environment variable names for federated assertions. Matched variables are passed into the federated mapping engine.

remote_id_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Default value for all protocols to be used to obtain the entity ID of the Identity Provider from the environment. For mod_shib, this would be Shib-Identity-Provider. For mod_auth_openidc, this could be HTTP_OIDC_ISS. For mod_auth_mellon, this could be MELLON_IDP. This can be overridden on a per-protocol basis by providing a remote_id_attribute to the federation protocol using the API.

federated_domain_name

Type:

string

Default:

Federated

An arbitrary domain name that is reserved to allow federated ephemeral users to have a domain concept. Note that an admin will not be able to create a domain with this name or update an existing domain to this name. You are not advised to change this value unless you really have to.

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal since T. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

Reason:

This option has been superseded by ephemeral users existing in the domain of their identity provider.

trusted_dashboard

Type:

multi-valued

Default:

''

A list of trusted dashboard hosts. Before accepting a Single Sign-On request to return a token, the origin host must be a member of this list. This configuration option may be repeated for multiple values. You must set this in order to use web-based SSO flows. For example: trusted_dashboard=https://acme.example.com/auth/websso trusted_dashboard=https://beta.example.com/auth/websso

sso_callback_template

Type:

string

Default:

/etc/keystone/sso_callback_template.html

Absolute path to an HTML file used as a Single Sign-On callback handler. This page is expected to redirect the user from keystone back to a trusted dashboard host, by form encoding a token in a POST request. Keystone’s default value should be sufficient for most deployments.

caching

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Toggle for federation caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. There is typically no reason to disable this.

default_authorization_ttl

Type:

integer

Default:

0

Default time in minutes for the validity of group memberships carried over from a mapping. Default is 0, which means disabled.

attribute_mapping_default_schema_version

Type:

string

Default:

1.0

The attribute mapping default schema version to be used, if the attribute mapping being registered does not have a schema version. One must bear in mind that changing this value will have no effect on attribute mappings that were previously registered when another default value was applied. Once registered, one needs to update the attribute mapping schema via the update API to be able to change an attribute mapping schema version.

fernet_receipts

key_repository

Type:

string

Default:

/etc/keystone/fernet-keys/

Directory containing Fernet receipt keys. This directory must exist before using keystone-manage fernet_setup for the first time, must be writable by the user running keystone-manage fernet_setup or keystone-manage fernet_rotate, and of course must be readable by keystone’s server process. The repository may contain keys in one of three states: a single staged key (always index 0) used for receipt validation, a single primary key (always the highest index) used for receipt creation and validation, and any number of secondary keys (all other index values) used for receipt validation. With multiple keystone nodes, each node must share the same key repository contents, with the exception of the staged key (index 0). It is safe to run keystone-manage fernet_rotate once on any one node to promote a staged key (index 0) to be the new primary (incremented from the previous highest index), and produce a new staged key (a new key with index 0); the resulting repository can then be atomically replicated to other nodes without any risk of race conditions (for example, it is safe to run keystone-manage fernet_rotate on host A, wait any amount of time, create a tarball of the directory on host A, unpack it on host B to a temporary location, and atomically move (mv) the directory into place on host B). Running keystone-manage fernet_rotate twice on a key repository without syncing other nodes will result in receipts that can not be validated by all nodes.

max_active_keys

Type:

integer

Default:

3

Minimum Value:

1

This controls how many keys are held in rotation by keystone-manage fernet_rotate before they are discarded. The default value of 3 means that keystone will maintain one staged key (always index 0), one primary key (the highest numerical index), and one secondary key (every other index). Increasing this value means that additional secondary keys will be kept in the rotation.

fernet_tokens

key_repository

Type:

string

Default:

/etc/keystone/fernet-keys/

Directory containing Fernet token keys. This directory must exist before using keystone-manage fernet_setup for the first time, must be writable by the user running keystone-manage fernet_setup or keystone-manage fernet_rotate, and of course must be readable by keystone’s server process. The repository may contain keys in one of three states: a single staged key (always index 0) used for token validation, a single primary key (always the highest index) used for token creation and validation, and any number of secondary keys (all other index values) used for token validation. With multiple keystone nodes, each node must share the same key repository contents, with the exception of the staged key (index 0). It is safe to run keystone-manage fernet_rotate once on any one node to promote a staged key (index 0) to be the new primary (incremented from the previous highest index), and produce a new staged key (a new key with index 0); the resulting repository can then be atomically replicated to other nodes without any risk of race conditions (for example, it is safe to run keystone-manage fernet_rotate on host A, wait any amount of time, create a tarball of the directory on host A, unpack it on host B to a temporary location, and atomically move (mv) the directory into place on host B). Running keystone-manage fernet_rotate twice on a key repository without syncing other nodes will result in tokens that can not be validated by all nodes.

max_active_keys

Type:

integer

Default:

3

Minimum Value:

1

This controls how many keys are held in rotation by keystone-manage fernet_rotate before they are discarded. The default value of 3 means that keystone will maintain one staged key (always index 0), one primary key (the highest numerical index), and one secondary key (every other index). Increasing this value means that additional secondary keys will be kept in the rotation.

healthcheck

path

Type:

string

Default:

/healthcheck

The path to respond to healtcheck requests on.

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

detailed

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Show more detailed information as part of the response. Security note: Enabling this option may expose sensitive details about the service being monitored. Be sure to verify that it will not violate your security policies.

backends

Type:

list

Default:

[]

Additional backends that can perform health checks and report that information back as part of a request.

allowed_source_ranges

Type:

list

Default:

[]

A list of network addresses to limit source ip allowed to access healthcheck information. Any request from ip outside of these network addresses are ignored.

ignore_proxied_requests

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Ignore requests with proxy headers.

disable_by_file_path

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Check the presence of a file to determine if an application is running on a port. Used by DisableByFileHealthcheck plugin.

disable_by_file_paths

Type:

list

Default:

[]

Check the presence of a file based on a port to determine if an application is running on a port. Expects a “port:path” list of strings. Used by DisableByFilesPortsHealthcheck plugin.

enable_by_file_paths

Type:

list

Default:

[]

Check the presence of files. Used by EnableByFilesHealthcheck plugin.

identity

default_domain_id

Type:

string

Default:

default

This references the domain to use for all Identity API v2 requests (which are not aware of domains). A domain with this ID can optionally be created for you by keystone-manage bootstrap. The domain referenced by this ID cannot be deleted on the v3 API, to prevent accidentally breaking the v2 API. There is nothing special about this domain, other than the fact that it must exist to order to maintain support for your v2 clients. There is typically no reason to change this value.

domain_specific_drivers_enabled

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

A subset (or all) of domains can have their own identity driver, each with their own partial configuration options, stored in either the resource backend or in a file in a domain configuration directory (depending on the setting of [identity] domain_configurations_from_database). Only values specific to the domain need to be specified in this manner. This feature is disabled by default, but may be enabled by default in a future release; set to true to enable.

domain_configurations_from_database

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

By default, domain-specific configuration data is read from files in the directory identified by [identity] domain_config_dir. Enabling this configuration option allows you to instead manage domain-specific configurations through the API, which are then persisted in the backend (typically, a SQL database), rather than using configuration files on disk.

domain_config_dir

Type:

string

Default:

/etc/keystone/domains

Absolute path where keystone should locate domain-specific [identity] configuration files. This option has no effect unless [identity] domain_specific_drivers_enabled is set to true. There is typically no reason to change this value.

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the identity backend driver in the keystone.identity namespace. Keystone provides a sql and ldap driver. This option is also used as the default driver selection (along with the other configuration variables in this section) in the event that [identity] domain_specific_drivers_enabled is enabled, but no applicable domain-specific configuration is defined for the domain in question. Unless your deployment primarily relies on ldap AND is not using domain-specific configuration, you should typically leave this set to sql.

caching

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Toggle for identity caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. There is typically no reason to disable this.

cache_time

Type:

integer

Default:

600

Time to cache identity data (in seconds). This has no effect unless global and identity caching are enabled.

max_password_length

Type:

integer

Default:

4096

Maximum Value:

4096

Maximum allowed length for user passwords. Decrease this value to improve performance. Changing this value does not effect existing passwords. This value can also be overridden by certain hashing algorithms maximum allowed length which takes precedence over the configured value. The bcrypt max_password_length is 72 bytes.

list_limit

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Maximum number of entities that will be returned in an identity collection.

password_hash_algorithm

Type:

string

Default:

bcrypt

Valid Values:

bcrypt, bcrypt_sha256, scrypt, pbkdf2_sha512

The password hashing algorithm to use for passwords stored within keystone.

password_hash_rounds

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

This option represents a trade off between security and performance. Higher values lead to slower performance, but higher security. Changing this option will only affect newly created passwords as existing password hashes already have a fixed number of rounds applied, so it is safe to tune this option in a running cluster. The default for bcrypt is 12, must be between 4 and 31, inclusive. The default for scrypt is 16, must be within range(1,32). The default for pbkdf_sha512 is 60000, must be within range(1,1<<32) WARNING: If using scrypt, increasing this value increases BOTH time AND memory requirements to hash a password.

scrypt_block_size

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Optional block size to pass to scrypt hash function (the r parameter). Useful for tuning scrypt to optimal performance for your CPU architecture. This option is only used when the password_hash_algorithm option is set to scrypt. Defaults to 8.

scrypt_parallelism

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Optional parallelism to pass to scrypt hash function (the p parameter). This option is only used when the password_hash_algorithm option is set to scrypt. Defaults to 1.

salt_bytesize

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Minimum Value:

0

Maximum Value:

96

Number of bytes to use in scrypt and pbkfd2_sha512 hashing salt. Default for scrypt is 16 bytes. Default for pbkfd2_sha512 is 16 bytes. Limited to a maximum of 96 bytes due to the size of the column used to store password hashes.

identity_mapping

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the identity mapping backend driver in the keystone.identity.id_mapping namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there is no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

generator

Type:

string

Default:

sha256

Entry point for the public ID generator for user and group entities in the keystone.identity.id_generator namespace. The Keystone identity mapper only supports generators that produce 64 bytes or less. Keystone only provides a sha256 entry point, so there is no reason to change this value unless you’re providing a custom entry point.

backward_compatible_ids

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

The format of user and group IDs changed in Juno for backends that do not generate UUIDs (for example, LDAP), with keystone providing a hash mapping to the underlying attribute in LDAP. By default this mapping is disabled, which ensures that existing IDs will not change. Even when the mapping is enabled by using domain-specific drivers ([identity] domain_specific_drivers_enabled), any users and groups from the default domain being handled by LDAP will still not be mapped to ensure their IDs remain backward compatible. Setting this value to false will enable the new mapping for all backends, including the default LDAP driver. It is only guaranteed to be safe to enable this option if you do not already have assignments for users and groups from the default LDAP domain, and you consider it to be acceptable for Keystone to provide the different IDs to clients than it did previously (existing IDs in the API will suddenly change). Typically this means that the only time you can set this value to false is when configuring a fresh installation, although that is the recommended value.

jwt_tokens

jws_public_key_repository

Type:

string

Default:

/etc/keystone/jws-keys/public

Directory containing public keys for validating JWS token signatures. This directory must exist in order for keystone’s server process to start. It must also be readable by keystone’s server process. It must contain at least one public key that corresponds to a private key in keystone.conf [jwt_tokens] jws_private_key_repository. This option is only applicable in deployments issuing JWS tokens and setting keystone.conf [token] provider = jws.

jws_private_key_repository

Type:

string

Default:

/etc/keystone/jws-keys/private

Directory containing private keys for signing JWS tokens. This directory must exist in order for keystone’s server process to start. It must also be readable by keystone’s server process. It must contain at least one private key that corresponds to a public key in keystone.conf [jwt_tokens] jws_public_key_repository. In the event there are multiple private keys in this directory, keystone will use a key named private.pem to sign tokens. In the future, keystone may support the ability to sign tokens with multiple private keys. For now, only a key named private.pem within this directory is required to issue JWS tokens. This option is only applicable in deployments issuing JWS tokens and setting keystone.conf [token] provider = jws.

ldap

url

Type:

string

Default:

ldap://localhost

URL(s) for connecting to the LDAP server. Multiple LDAP URLs may be specified as a comma separated string. The first URL to successfully bind is used for the connection.

randomize_urls

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Randomize the order of URLs in each keystone process. This makes the failure behavior more gradual, since if the first server is down, a process/thread will wait for the specified timeout before attempting a connection to a server further down the list. This defaults to False, for backward compatibility.

user

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

The user name of the administrator bind DN to use when querying the LDAP server, if your LDAP server requires it.

password

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

The password of the administrator bind DN to use when querying the LDAP server, if your LDAP server requires it.

suffix

Type:

string

Default:

cn=example,cn=com

The default LDAP server suffix to use, if a DN is not defined via either [ldap] user_tree_dn or [ldap] group_tree_dn.

query_scope

Type:

string

Default:

one

Valid Values:

one, sub

The search scope which defines how deep to search within the search base. A value of one (representing oneLevel or singleLevel) indicates a search of objects immediately below to the base object, but does not include the base object itself. A value of sub (representing subtree or wholeSubtree) indicates a search of both the base object itself and the entire subtree below it.

page_size

Type:

integer

Default:

0

Minimum Value:

0

Defines the maximum number of results per page that keystone should request from the LDAP server when listing objects. A value of zero (0) disables paging.

alias_dereferencing

Type:

string

Default:

default

Valid Values:

never, searching, always, finding, default

The LDAP dereferencing option to use for queries involving aliases. A value of default falls back to using default dereferencing behavior configured by your ldap.conf. A value of never prevents aliases from being dereferenced at all. A value of searching dereferences aliases only after name resolution. A value of finding dereferences aliases only during name resolution. A value of always dereferences aliases in all cases.

debug_level

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Minimum Value:

-1

Sets the LDAP debugging level for LDAP calls. A value of 0 means that debugging is not enabled. This value is a bitmask, consult your LDAP documentation for possible values.

chase_referrals

Type:

boolean

Default:

<None>

Sets keystone’s referral chasing behavior across directory partitions. If left unset, the system’s default behavior will be used.

user_tree_dn

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

The search base to use for users. Defaults to ou=Users with the [ldap] suffix appended to it.

user_filter

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

The LDAP search filter to use for users.

user_objectclass

Type:

string

Default:

inetOrgPerson

The LDAP object class to use for users.

user_id_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

cn

The LDAP attribute mapped to user IDs in keystone. This must NOT be a multivalued attribute. User IDs are expected to be globally unique across keystone domains and URL-safe.

user_name_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

sn

The LDAP attribute mapped to user names in keystone. User names are expected to be unique only within a keystone domain and are not expected to be URL-safe.

user_description_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

description

The LDAP attribute mapped to user descriptions in keystone.

user_mail_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

mail

The LDAP attribute mapped to user emails in keystone.

user_pass_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

userPassword

The LDAP attribute mapped to user passwords in keystone.

user_enabled_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

enabled

The LDAP attribute mapped to the user enabled attribute in keystone. If setting this option to userAccountControl, then you may be interested in setting [ldap] user_enabled_mask and [ldap] user_enabled_default as well.

user_enabled_invert

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Logically negate the boolean value of the enabled attribute obtained from the LDAP server. Some LDAP servers use a boolean lock attribute where “true” means an account is disabled. Setting [ldap] user_enabled_invert = true will allow these lock attributes to be used. This option will have no effect if either the [ldap] user_enabled_mask or [ldap] user_enabled_emulation options are in use.

user_enabled_mask

Type:

integer

Default:

0

Minimum Value:

0

Bitmask integer to select which bit indicates the enabled value if the LDAP server represents “enabled” as a bit on an integer rather than as a discrete boolean. A value of 0 indicates that the mask is not used. If this is not set to 0 the typical value is 2. This is typically used when [ldap] user_enabled_attribute = userAccountControl. Setting this option causes keystone to ignore the value of [ldap] user_enabled_invert.

user_enabled_default

Type:

string

Default:

True

The default value to enable users. This should match an appropriate integer value if the LDAP server uses non-boolean (bitmask) values to indicate if a user is enabled or disabled. If this is not set to True, then the typical value is 512. This is typically used when [ldap] user_enabled_attribute = userAccountControl.

user_attribute_ignore

Type:

list

Default:

['default_project_id']

List of user attributes to ignore on create and update, or whether a specific user attribute should be filtered for list or show user.

user_default_project_id_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

The LDAP attribute mapped to a user’s default_project_id in keystone. This is most commonly used when keystone has write access to LDAP.

user_enabled_emulation

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

If enabled, keystone uses an alternative method to determine if a user is enabled or not by checking if they are a member of the group defined by the [ldap] user_enabled_emulation_dn option. Enabling this option causes keystone to ignore the value of [ldap] user_enabled_invert.

user_enabled_emulation_dn

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

DN of the group entry to hold enabled users when using enabled emulation. Setting this option has no effect unless [ldap] user_enabled_emulation is also enabled.

user_enabled_emulation_use_group_config

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Use the [ldap] group_member_attribute and [ldap] group_objectclass settings to determine membership in the emulated enabled group. Enabling this option has no effect unless [ldap] user_enabled_emulation is also enabled.

user_additional_attribute_mapping

Type:

list

Default:

[]

A list of LDAP attribute to keystone user attribute pairs used for mapping additional attributes to users in keystone. The expected format is <ldap_attr>:<user_attr>, where ldap_attr is the attribute in the LDAP object and user_attr is the attribute which should appear in the identity API.

group_tree_dn

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

The search base to use for groups. Defaults to ou=UserGroups with the [ldap] suffix appended to it.

group_filter

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

The LDAP search filter to use for groups.

group_objectclass

Type:

string

Default:

groupOfNames

The LDAP object class to use for groups. If setting this option to posixGroup, you may also be interested in enabling the [ldap] group_members_are_ids option.

group_id_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

cn

The LDAP attribute mapped to group IDs in keystone. This must NOT be a multivalued attribute. Group IDs are expected to be globally unique across keystone domains and URL-safe.

group_name_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

ou

The LDAP attribute mapped to group names in keystone. Group names are expected to be unique only within a keystone domain and are not expected to be URL-safe.

group_member_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

member

The LDAP attribute used to indicate that a user is a member of the group.

group_members_are_ids

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Enable this option if the members of the group object class are keystone user IDs rather than LDAP DNs. This is the case when using posixGroup as the group object class in Open Directory.

group_desc_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

description

The LDAP attribute mapped to group descriptions in keystone.

group_attribute_ignore

Type:

list

Default:

[]

List of group attributes to ignore on create and update. or whether a specific group attribute should be filtered for list or show group.

group_additional_attribute_mapping

Type:

list

Default:

[]

A list of LDAP attribute to keystone group attribute pairs used for mapping additional attributes to groups in keystone. The expected format is <ldap_attr>:<group_attr>, where ldap_attr is the attribute in the LDAP object and group_attr is the attribute which should appear in the identity API.

group_ad_nesting

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

If enabled, group queries will use Active Directory specific filters for nested groups.

tls_cacertfile

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

An absolute path to a CA certificate file to use when communicating with LDAP servers. This option will take precedence over [ldap] tls_cacertdir, so there is no reason to set both.

tls_cacertdir

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

An absolute path to a CA certificate directory to use when communicating with LDAP servers. There is no reason to set this option if you’ve also set [ldap] tls_cacertfile.

use_tls

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Enable TLS when communicating with LDAP servers. You should also set the [ldap] tls_cacertfile and [ldap] tls_cacertdir options when using this option. Do not set this option if you are using LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) instead of TLS.

tls_req_cert

Type:

string

Default:

demand

Valid Values:

demand, never, allow

Specifies which checks to perform against client certificates on incoming TLS sessions. If set to demand, then a certificate will always be requested and required from the LDAP server. If set to allow, then a certificate will always be requested but not required from the LDAP server. If set to never, then a certificate will never be requested.

connection_timeout

Type:

integer

Default:

-1

Minimum Value:

-1

The connection timeout to use with the LDAP server. A value of -1 means that connections will never timeout.

use_pool

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Enable LDAP connection pooling for queries to the LDAP server. There is typically no reason to disable this.

pool_size

Type:

integer

Default:

10

It is available as of RabbitMQ 3.8.0. If set this option will conflict with the HA queues (rabbit_ha_queues) aka mirrored queues, in other words the HA queues should be disabled. Quorum queues are also durable by default so the amqp_durable_queues option is ignored when this option is enabled.

rabbit_transient_quorum_queue

Type:

Positive integer representing duration in seconds for queue TTL (x-expires). Queues which are unused for the duration of the TTL are automatically deleted. The parameter affects only reply and fanout queues. Setting 0 as value will disable the x-expires. If doing so, make sure you have a rabbitmq policy to delete the queues or you deployment will create an infinite number of queue over time.

enforce_scope

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

This option controls whether or not to enforce scope when evaluating policies. If True, the scope of the token used in the request is compared to the scope_types of the policy being enforced. If the scopes do not match, an InvalidScope exception will be raised. If False, a message will be logged informing operators that policies are being invoked with mismatching scope.

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

Reason:

This configuration was added temporarily to facilitate a smooth transition to the new RBAC. OpenStack will always enforce scope checks. This configuration option is deprecated and will be removed in the 2025.2 cycle.

enforce_new_defaults

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

This option controls whether or not to use old deprecated defaults when evaluating policies. If True, the old deprecated defaults are not going to be evaluated. This means if any existing token is allowed for old defaults but is disallowed for new defaults, it will be disallowed. It is encouraged to enable this flag along with the enforce_scope flag so that you can get the benefits of new defaults and scope_type together. If False, the deprecated policy check string is logically OR’d with the new policy check string, allowing for a graceful upgrade experience between releases with new policies, which is the default behavior.

Secret key(s) to use for encrypting context data for performance profiling.

This string value should have the following format: <key1>[,<key2>,…<keyn>], where each key is some random string. A user who triggers the profiling via the REST API has to set one of these keys in the headers of the REST API call to include profiling results of this node for this particular project.

Both “enabled” flag and “hmac_keys” config options should be set to enable profiling. Also, to generate correct profiling information across all services at least one key needs to be consistent between OpenStack projects. This ensures it can be used from client side to generate the trace, containing information from all possible resources.

Redissentinel uses a service name to identify a master redis service. This parameter defines the name (for example: sentinal_service_name=mymaster).

filter_error_trace

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Enable filter traces that contain error/exception to a separated place.

Default value is set to False.

Possible values:

• True: Enable filter traces that contain error/exception.

• False: Disable the filter.

receipt

expiration

Type:

integer

Default:

300

Minimum Value:

0

Maximum Value:

86400

The amount of time that a receipt should remain valid (in seconds). This value should always be very short, as it represents how long a user has to reattempt auth with the missing auth methods.

provider

Type:

string

Default:

fernet

Entry point for the receipt provider in the keystone.receipt.provider namespace. The receipt provider controls the receipt construction and validation operations. Keystone includes just the fernet receipt provider for now. fernet receipts do not need to be persisted at all, but require that you run keystone-manage fernet_setup (also see the keystone-manage fernet_rotate command).

caching

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Toggle for caching receipt creation and validation data. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled, or if cache_on_issue is disabled as we only cache receipts on issue.

cache_time

Type:

integer

Default:

300

Minimum Value:

0

The number of seconds to cache receipt creation and validation data. This has no effect unless both global and [receipt] caching are enabled.

cache_on_issue

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Enable storing issued receipt data to receipt validation cache so that first receipt validation doesn’t actually cause full validation cycle. This option has no effect unless global caching and receipt caching are enabled.

resource

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the resource driver in the keystone.resource namespace. Only a sql driver is supplied by keystone. Unless you are writing proprietary drivers for keystone, you do not need to set this option.

caching

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Toggle for resource caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled.

Deprecated Variations

Group	Name
assignment	caching

cache_time

Type:

integer

Default:

integer

Default:

<None>

Maximum number of entities that will be returned in a resource collection.

Deprecated Variations

Group	Name
assignment	list_limit

admin_project_domain_name

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Name of the domain that owns the admin_project_name. If left unset, then there is no admin project. [resource] admin_project_name must also be set to use this option.

admin_project_name

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

This is a special project which represents cloud-level administrator privileges across services. Tokens scoped to this project will contain a true is_admin_project attribute to indicate to policy systems that the role assignments on that specific project should apply equally across every project. If left unset, then there is no admin project, and thus no explicit means of cross-project role assignments. [resource] admin_project_domain_name must also be set to use this option.

project_name_url_safe

Type:

string

Default:

off

Valid Values:

off, new, strict

This controls whether the names of projects are restricted from containing URL-reserved characters. If set to new, attempts to create or update a project with a URL-unsafe name will fail. If set to strict, attempts to scope a token with a URL-unsafe project name will fail, thereby forcing all project names to be updated to be URL-safe.

domain_name_url_safe

Type:

string

Default:

off

Valid Values:

off, new, strict

This controls whether the names of domains are restricted from containing URL-reserved characters. If set to new, attempts to create or update a domain with a URL-unsafe name will fail. If set to strict, attempts to scope a token with a URL-unsafe domain name will fail, thereby forcing all domain names to be updated to be URL-safe.

revoke

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the token revocation backend driver in the keystone.revoke namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there is no reason to set this option unless you are providing a custom entry point.

expiration_buffer

Type:

integer

Default:

1800

Minimum Value:

0

The number of seconds after a token has expired before a corresponding revocation event may be purged from the backend.

caching

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Toggle for revocation event caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled.

cache_time

Type:

integer

Default:

3600

Time to cache the revocation list and the revocation events (in seconds). This has no effect unless global and [revoke] caching are both enabled.

Deprecated Variations

Group	Name
token	revocation_cache_time

role

driver

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Entry point for the role backend driver in the keystone.role namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there’s no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

caching

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Toggle for role caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to disable this.

cache_time

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Time to cache role data, in seconds. This has no effect unless both global caching and [role] caching are enabled.

list_limit

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Maximum number of entities that will be returned in a role collection. This may be useful to tune if you have a large number of discrete roles in your deployment.

saml

assertion_expiration_time

Type:

integer

Default:

3600

Determines the lifetime for any SAML assertions generated by keystone, using NotOnOrAfter attributes.

xmlsec1_binary

Type:

string

Default:

xmlsec1

Name of, or absolute path to, the binary to be used for XML signing. Although only the XML Security Library (xmlsec1) is supported, it may have a non-standard name or path on your system. If keystone cannot find the binary itself, you may need to install the appropriate package, use this option to specify an absolute path, or adjust keystone’s PATH environment variable.

certfile

Type:

string

Default:

/etc/keystone/ssl/certs/signing_cert.pem

Absolute path to the public certificate file to use for SAML signing. The value cannot contain a comma (,).

keyfile

Type:

string

Default:

/etc/keystone/ssl/private/signing_key.pem

Absolute path to the private key file to use for SAML signing. The value cannot contain a comma (,).

idp_entity_id

Type:

URI

Default:

<None>

This is the unique entity identifier of the identity provider (keystone) to use when generating SAML assertions. This value is required to generate identity provider metadata and must be a URI (a URL is recommended). For example: https://keystone.example.com/v3/OS-FEDERATION/saml2/idp.

idp_sso_endpoint

Type:

URI

Default:

<None>

This is the single sign-on (SSO) service location of the identity provider which accepts HTTP POST requests. A value is required to generate identity provider metadata. For example: https://keystone.example.com/v3/OS-FEDERATION/saml2/sso.

idp_lang

Type:

string

Default:

en

This is the language used by the identity provider’s organization.

This is the name of the identity provider’s organization to be displayed.

idp_organization_url

Type:

URI

Default:

https://example.com/

This is the URL of the identity provider’s organization. The URL referenced here should be useful to humans.

idp_contact_company

Type:

string

Default:

Example, Inc.

This is the company name of the identity provider’s contact person.

idp_contact_name

Type:

string

Default:

SAML Identity Provider Support

This is the given name of the identity provider’s contact person.

idp_contact_surname

Type:

string

Default:

Support

This is the surname of the identity provider’s contact person.

idp_contact_email

Type:

string

Default:

support@example.com

This is the email address of the identity provider’s contact person.

idp_contact_telephone

Type:

string

Default:

+1 800 555 0100

This is the telephone number of the identity provider’s contact person.

idp_contact_type

Type:

string

Default:

other

Valid Values:

technical, support, administrative, billing, other

This is the type of contact that best describes the identity provider’s contact person.

idp_metadata_path

Type:

string

Default:

/etc/keystone/saml2_idp_metadata.xml

Absolute path to the identity provider metadata file. This file should be generated with the keystone-manage saml_idp_metadata command. There is typically no reason to change this value.

relay_state_prefix

Type:

string

Default:

ss:mem:

The prefix of the RelayState SAML attribute to use when generating enhanced client and proxy (ECP) assertions. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to change this value.

security_compliance

disable_user_account_days_inactive

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Minimum Value:

1

The maximum number of days a user can go without authenticating before being considered “inactive” and automatically disabled (locked). This feature is disabled by default; set any value to enable it. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver. When a user exceeds this threshold and is considered “inactive”, the user’s enabled attribute in the HTTP API may not match the value of the user’s enabled column in the user table.

lockout_failure_attempts

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Minimum Value:

1

The maximum number of times that a user can fail to authenticate before the user account is locked for the number of seconds specified by [security_compliance] lockout_duration. This feature is disabled by default. If this feature is enabled and [security_compliance] lockout_duration is not set, then users may be locked out indefinitely until the user is explicitly enabled via the API. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

lockout_duration

Type:

integer

Default:

1800

Minimum Value:

1

The number of seconds a user account will be locked when the maximum number of failed authentication attempts (as specified by [security_compliance] lockout_failure_attempts) is exceeded. Setting this option will have no effect unless you also set [security_compliance] lockout_failure_attempts to a non-zero value. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

password_expires_days

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Minimum Value:

1

The number of days for which a password will be considered valid before requiring it to be changed. This feature is disabled by default. If enabled, new password changes will have an expiration date, however existing passwords would not be impacted. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

unique_last_password_count

Type:

integer

Default:

0

Minimum Value:

0

This controls the number of previous user password iterations to keep in history, in order to enforce that newly created passwords are unique. The total number which includes the new password should not be greater or equal to this value. Setting the value to zero (the default) disables this feature. Thus, to enable this feature, values must be greater than 0. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

minimum_password_age

Type:

integer

Default:

0

Minimum Value:

0

The number of days that a password must be used before the user can change it. This prevents users from changing their passwords immediately in order to wipe out their password history and reuse an old password. This feature does not prevent administrators from manually resetting passwords. It is disabled by default and allows for immediate password changes. This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver. Note: If [security_compliance] password_expires_days is set, then the value for this option should be less than the password_expires_days.

password_regex

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

The regular expression used to validate password strength requirements. By default, the regular expression will match any password. The following is an example of a pattern which requires at least 1 letter, 1 digit, and have a minimum length of 7 characters: ^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-zA-Z]).{7,}$ This feature depends on the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

password_regex_description

Type:

string

Default:

<None>

Describe your password regular expression here in language for humans. If a password fails to match the regular expression, the contents of this configuration variable will be returned to users to explain why their requested password was insufficient.

change_password_upon_first_use

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Enabling this option requires users to change their password when the user is created, or upon administrative reset. Before accessing any services, affected users will have to change their password. To ignore this requirement for specific users, such as service users, set the options attribute ignore_change_password_upon_first_use to True for the desired user via the update user API. This feature is disabled by default. This feature is only applicable with the sql backend for the [identity] driver.

shadow_users

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the shadow users backend driver in the keystone.identity.shadow_users namespace. This driver is used for persisting local user references to externally-managed identities (via federation, LDAP, etc). Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there is no reason to change this option unless you are providing a custom entry point.

token

expiration

Type:

integer

Default:

3600

Minimum Value:

0

Maximum Value:

9223372036854775807

The amount of time that a token should remain valid (in seconds). Drastically reducing this value may break “long-running” operations that involve multiple services to coordinate together, and will force users to authenticate with keystone more frequently. Drastically increasing this value will increase the number of tokens that will be simultaneously valid. Keystone tokens are also bearer tokens, so a shorter duration will also reduce the potential security impact of a compromised token.

provider

Type:

string

Default:

fernet

Entry point for the token provider in the keystone.token.provider namespace. The token provider controls the token construction, validation, and revocation operations. Supported upstream providers are fernet and jws. Neither fernet or jws tokens require persistence and both require additional setup. If using fernet, you’re required to run keystone-manage fernet_setup, which creates symmetric keys used to encrypt tokens. If using jws, you’re required to generate an ECDSA keypair using a SHA-256 hash algorithm for signing and validating token, which can be done with keystone-manage create_jws_keypair. Note that fernet tokens are encrypted and jws tokens are only signed. Please be sure to consider this if your deployment has security requirements regarding payload contents used to generate token IDs.

caching

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Toggle for caching token creation and validation data. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled.

cache_time

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Minimum Value:

0

Maximum Value:

9223372036854775807

The number of seconds to cache token creation and validation data. This has no effect unless both global and [token] caching are enabled.

revoke_by_id

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

This toggles support for revoking individual tokens by the token identifier and thus various token enumeration operations (such as listing all tokens issued to a specific user). These operations are used to determine the list of tokens to consider revoked. Do not disable this option if you’re using the kvs [revoke] driver.

allow_rescope_scoped_token

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

This toggles whether scoped tokens may be re-scoped to a new project or domain, thereby preventing users from exchanging a scoped token (including those with a default project scope) for any other token. This forces users to either authenticate for unscoped tokens (and later exchange that unscoped token for tokens with a more specific scope) or to provide their credentials in every request for a scoped token to avoid re-scoping altogether.

cache_on_issue

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Enable storing issued token data to token validation cache so that first token validation doesn’t actually cause full validation cycle. This option has no effect unless global caching is enabled and will still cache tokens even if [token] caching = False.

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal since S. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

Reason:

Keystone already exposes a configuration option for caching tokens. Having a separate configuration option to cache tokens when they are issued is redundant, unnecessarily complicated, and is misleading if token caching is disabled because tokens will still be pre-cached by default when they are issued. The ability to pre-cache tokens when they are issued is going to rely exclusively on the keystone.conf [token] caching option in the future.

allow_expired_window

Type:

integer

Default:

172800

This controls the number of seconds that a token can be retrieved for beyond the built-in expiry time. This allows long running operations to succeed. Defaults to two days.

tokenless_auth

trusted_issuer

Type:

multi-valued

Default:

''

The list of distinguished names which identify trusted issuers of client certificates allowed to use X.509 tokenless authorization. If the option is absent then no certificates will be allowed. The format for the values of a distinguished name (DN) must be separated by a comma and contain no spaces. Furthermore, because an individual DN may contain commas, this configuration option may be repeated multiple times to represent multiple values. For example, keystone.conf would include two consecutive lines in order to trust two different DNs, such as trusted_issuer = CN=john,OU=keystone,O=openstack and trusted_issuer = CN=mary,OU=eng,O=abc.

protocol

Type:

string

Default:

x509

The federated protocol ID used to represent X.509 tokenless authorization. This is used in combination with the value of [tokenless_auth] issuer_attribute to find a corresponding federated mapping. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to change this value.

issuer_attribute

Type:

string

Default:

SSL_CLIENT_I_DN

The name of the WSGI environment variable used to pass the issuer of the client certificate to keystone. This attribute is used as an identity provider ID for the X.509 tokenless authorization along with the protocol to look up its corresponding mapping. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to change this value.

totp

included_previous_windows

Type:

integer

Default:

1

Minimum Value:

0

Maximum Value:

10

The number of previous windows to check when processing TOTP passcodes.

trust

allow_redelegation

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Allows authorization to be redelegated from one user to another, effectively chaining trusts together. When disabled, the remaining_uses attribute of a trust is constrained to be zero.

max_redelegation_count

Type:

integer

Default:

3

Maximum number of times that authorization can be redelegated from one user to another in a chain of trusts. This number may be reduced further for a specific trust.

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the trust backend driver in the keystone.trust namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there is no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

unified_limit

driver

Type:

string

Default:

sql

Entry point for the unified limit backend driver in the keystone.unified_limit namespace. Keystone only provides a sql driver, so there’s no reason to change this unless you are providing a custom entry point.

caching

Type:

boolean

Default:

True

Toggle for unified limit caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to disable this.

cache_time

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Time to cache unified limit data, in seconds. This has no effect unless both global caching and [unified_limit] caching are enabled.

list_limit

Type:

integer

Default:

<None>

Maximum number of entities that will be returned in a unified limit collection. This may be useful to tune if you have a large number of unified limits in your deployment.

enforcement_model

Type:

string

Default:

flat

Valid Values:

flat, strict_two_level

The enforcement model to use when validating limits associated to projects. Enforcement models will behave differently depending on the existing limits, which may result in backwards incompatible changes if a model is switched in a running deployment.

wsgi

debug_middleware

Type:

boolean

Default:

False

If set to true, this enables the oslo debug middleware in Keystone. This Middleware prints a lot of information about the request and the response. It is useful for getting information about the data on the wire (decoded) and passed to the WSGI application pipeline. This middleware has no effect on the “debug” setting in the [DEFAULT] section of the config file or setting Keystone’s log-level to “DEBUG”; it is specific to debugging the WSGI data as it enters and leaves Keystone (specific request-related data). This option is used for introspection on the request and response data between the web server (apache, nginx, etc) and Keystone. This middleware is inserted as the first element in the middleware chain and will show the data closest to the wire. WARNING: NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN PRODUCTION. THIS MIDDLEWARE CAN AND WILL EMIT SENSITIVE/PRIVILEGED DATA.

Domain-specific Identity drivers

The Identity service supports domain-specific Identity drivers installed on an SQL or LDAP back end, and supports domain-specific Identity configuration options, which are stored in domain-specific configuration files. See Domain-specific configuration for more information.
