Client

barbicanclient.client.Client(version=None, session=None, *args, **kwargs)

Barbican client used to interact with barbican service.

Parameters:

  • session – An instance of keystoneauth1.session.Session that can be either authenticated, or not authenticated. When using a non-authenticated Session, you must provide some additional parameters. When no session is provided it will default to a non-authenticated Session. (optional)

  • endpoint – Barbican endpoint url override. Required when a session is not given, or when using a non-authenticated session. When using an authenticated session, the client will attempt to get the endpoint from the Keystone service catalog. (optional)

  • project_id – The project ID used for context in Barbican. Required when a session is not given, or when using a non-authenticated session. When using an authenticated session, the project ID will be provided by the authentication mechanism and this parameter will be ignored. (optional)

  • verify – When a session is not given, the client will create a non-authenticated session. This parameter is passed to the session that is created. If set to False, it allows barbicanclient to perform “insecure” TLS (https) requests. The server’s certificate will not be verified against any certificate authorities. (optional) WARNING: This option should be used with caution.

  • version – Used as an endpoint filter when using an authenticated keystone session. When using a non-authenticated keystone session, this value is appended to the required endpoint url override. Defaults to ‘v1’.

  • service_type – Used as an endpoint filter when using an authenticated keystone session. Defaults to ‘key-manager’.

  • service_name – Used as an endpoint filter when using an authenticated keystone session.

  • interface – Used as an endpoint filter when using an authenticated keystone session. Defaults to ‘public’.

  • region_name – Used as an endpoint filter when using an authenticated keystone session.

  • microversion – Specifiy an API Microversion to be used. Defaults to ‘1.1’.
