Deprecated Variations¶
Group	Name
DEFAULT	log-config
DEFAULT	log_config

log_date_format¶

Type: string
Default: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

fatal_deprecations¶

Type: boolean
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: integer
Default: 5

Maximum depth of the project hierarchy, excluding the project acting as a domain at the top of the hierarchy. WARNING: Setting it to a large value may adversely impact performance.

Type: integer
Default: 64

Limit the sizes of user & project ID/names.

max_token_size¶

Type: integer
Default: 255

Similar to [DEFAULT] max_param_size, but provides an exception for token values. With Fernet tokens, this can be set as low as 255. With UUID tokens, this should be set to 32).

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
Default: identity.authenticate.failed

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

application_credential¶

driver¶

Type: string
Default: sql

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

caching¶

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: -1

Maximum number of application credentials a user is permitted to create. A value of -1 means unlimited. If a limit is not set, users are permitted to create application credentials at will, which could lead to bloat in the keystone database or open keystone to a DoS attack.

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.

prohibited_implied_role¶

Type: list
Default: admin

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.

application_credential¶

Type: string
Default: <None>

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

Cache backend module. For eventlet-based or environments with hundreds of threaded servers, Memcache with pooling (oslo_cache.memcache_pool) is recommended. 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¶

Type: multi-valued
Default: ''

Arguments supplied to the backend module. Specify this option once per argument to be passed to the dogpile.cache backend. Example format: “<argname>:<value>”.

proxies¶

Type: list
Default: ''

Proxy classes to import that will affect the way the dogpile.cache backend functions. See the dogpile.cache documentation on changing-backend-behavior.

enabled¶

Type: boolean
Default: true

Global toggle for caching.

debug_cache_backend¶

Type: boolean
Default: false

Extra debugging from the cache backend (cache keys, get/set/delete/etc calls). This is only really useful if you need to see the specific cache-backend get/set/delete calls with the keys/values. Typically this should be left set to false.

memcache_servers¶

Default: <None>

Path to a file of concatenated CA certificates in PEM format necessary to establish the caching servers’ authenticity. If tls_enabled is False, this option is ignored.

tls_certfile¶

Type: string
Default: <None>

Path to a single file in PEM format containing the client’s certificate as well as any number of CA certificates needed to establish the certificate’s authenticity. This file is only required when client side authentication is necessary. If tls_enabled is False, this option is ignored.

tls_keyfile¶

Type: string
Default: <None>

Path to a single file containing the client’s private key in. Otherwhise the private key will be taken from the file specified in tls_certfile. If tls_enabled is False, this option is ignored.

tls_allowed_ciphers¶

Type: string
Default: <None>

Set the available ciphers for sockets created with the TLS context. It should be a string in the OpenSSL cipher list format. If not specified, all OpenSSL enabled ciphers will be available.

Default: default_catalog.templates

Absolute path to the file used for the templated catalog backend. This option is only used if the [catalog] driver is set to templated.

driver¶

Type: string
Default: sql

Entry point for the catalog driver in the keystone.catalog namespace. Keystone provides a sql option (which supports basic CRUD operations through SQL), a templated option (which loads the catalog from a templated catalog file on disk), and a endpoint_filter.sql option (which supports arbitrary service catalogs per project).

caching¶

Default: true

Toggle for catalog 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 catalog data (in seconds). This has no effect unless global and catalog caching are both enabled. Catalog data (services, endpoints, etc.) typically does not change frequently, and so a longer duration than the global default may be desirable.

list_limit¶

Type: integer
Default: <None>

Maximum number of entities that will be returned in a catalog collection. There is typically no reason to set this, as it would be unusual for a deployment to have enough services or endpoints to exceed a reasonable limit.

cors¶

allowed_origin¶

Type: string
Default: /etc/keystone/credential-keys/

Directory containing Fernet keys used to encrypt and decrypt credentials stored in the credential backend. Fernet keys used to encrypt credentials have no relationship to Fernet keys used to encrypt Fernet tokens. Both sets of keys should be managed separately and require different rotation policies.

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

Reason: Support for running keystone under eventlet has been removed in the Newton release. These options remain for backwards compatibility because they are used for URL substitutions.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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 the [ldap] suffix value.

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

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 the [ldap] suffix value.

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
Minimum Value: 1

The size of the LDAP connection pool. This option has no effect unless [ldap] use_pool is also enabled.

pool_retry_max¶

Type: integer
Default: 3
Minimum Value: 0

The maximum number of times to attempt reconnecting to the LDAP server before aborting. A value of zero prevents retries. This option has no effect unless [ldap] use_pool is also enabled.

pool_retry_delay¶

Type: floating point
Default: 0.1

The number of seconds to wait before attempting to reconnect to the LDAP server. This option has no effect unless [ldap] use_pool is also enabled.

pool_connection_timeout¶

Type: integer
Default: -1
Minimum Value: -1

The connection timeout to use when pooling LDAP connections. A value of -1 means that connections will never timeout. This option has no effect unless [ldap] use_pool is also enabled.

pool_connection_lifetime¶

Type: integer
Default: 600
Minimum Value: 1

The maximum connection lifetime to the LDAP server in seconds. When this lifetime is exceeded, the connection will be unbound and removed from the connection pool. This option has no effect unless [ldap] use_pool is also enabled.

use_auth_pool¶

Type: boolean
Default: true

Enable LDAP connection pooling for end user authentication. There is typically no reason to disable this.

auth_pool_size¶

Type: integer
Default: 100
Minimum Value: 1

The size of the connection pool to use for end user authentication. This option has no effect unless [ldap] use_auth_pool is also enabled.

auth_pool_connection_lifetime¶

Type: integer
Default: 60
Minimum Value: 1

The maximum end user authentication connection lifetime to the LDAP server in seconds. When this lifetime is exceeded, the connection will be unbound and removed from the connection pool. This option has no effect unless [ldap] use_auth_pool is also enabled.

memcache¶

dead_retry¶

Type: integer
Default: 300

Number of seconds memcached server is considered dead before it is tried again. This is used by the key value store system.

socket_timeout¶

Type: integer
Default: 3

Timeout in seconds for every call to a server. This is used by the key value store system.

Warning

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

Reason: This option is duplicated with oslo.cache. Configure keystone.conf [cache] memcache_socket_timeout option to set the socket_timeout of memcached instead.

pool_maxsize¶

Type: integer
Default: 10

Max total number of open connections to every memcached server. This is used by the key value store system.

pool_unused_timeout¶

Type: integer
Default: 60

Number of seconds a connection to memcached is held unused in the pool before it is closed. This is used by the key value store system.

pool_connection_get_timeout¶

Type: integer
Default: 10

Number of seconds that an operation will wait to get a memcache client connection. This is used by the key value store system.

oauth1¶

driver¶

Type: string
Default: sql

Entry point for the OAuth backend driver in the keystone.oauth1 namespace. Typically, there is no reason to set this option unless you are providing a custom entry point.

request_token_duration¶

Type: integer
Default: 28800
Minimum Value: 0

Number of seconds for the OAuth Request Token to remain valid after being created. This is the amount of time the user has to authorize the token. Setting this option to zero means that request tokens will last forever.

access_token_duration¶

Type: integer
Default: 86400
Minimum Value: 0

Number of seconds for the OAuth Access Token to remain valid after being created. This is the amount of time the consumer has to interact with the service provider (which is typically keystone). Setting this option to zero means that access tokens will last forever.

oslo_messaging_amqp¶

container_name¶

Type: string
Default: <None>

Name for the AMQP container. must be globally unique. Defaults to a generated UUID

Deprecated Variations¶
Group	Name
amqp1	container_name

idle_timeout¶

Type: integer
Default: 0

Timeout for inactive connections (in seconds)

Deprecated Variations¶
Group	Name

trace¶

Type: boolean
Default: false

Debug: dump AMQP frames to stdout

Deprecated Variations¶

Default: ''

CA certificate PEM file used to verify the server’s certificate

Deprecated Variations¶
Group	Name
amqp1	ssl_ca_file

Deprecated Variations¶
Group	Name
amqp1	ssl_key_password

ssl_verify_vhost¶

Type: boolean
Default: false

By default SSL checks that the name in the server’s certificate matches the hostname in the transport_url. In some configurations it may be preferable to use the virtual hostname instead, for example if the server uses the Server Name Indication TLS extension (rfc6066) to provide a certificate per virtual host. Set ssl_verify_vhost to True if the server’s SSL certificate uses the virtual host name instead of the DNS name.

sasl_mechanisms¶

Type: string
Default: ''

Space separated list of acceptable SASL mechanisms

Deprecated Variations¶
Group	Name
amqp1	sasl_mechanisms

sasl_config_dir¶

Type: string

Default value is False (SQL requests won’t be traced).

Possible values:

True: Enables SQL requests profiling. Each SQL query will be part of the trace and can the be analyzed by how much time was spent for that.
False: Disables SQL requests profiling. The spent time is only shown on a higher level of operations. Single SQL queries cannot be analyzed this way.

hmac_keys¶

Type: string
Default: SECRET_KEY

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.

connection_string¶

Type: string
Default: messaging://

Connection string for a notifier backend.

Default value is messaging:// which sets the notifier to oslo_messaging.

Examples of possible values:

Default: 0.1

Redissentinel provides a timeout option on the connections. This parameter defines that timeout (for example: socket_timeout=0.1).

sentinel_service_name¶

Type: string
Default: mymaster

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

Default value is set to False.

Possible values:

True: Enable filter traces that contain error/exception.
False: Disable the filter.

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.

Warning

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

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.

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.

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 role 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.
