Unauthenticated clients are redirected to this endpoint to authenticate. Although this endpoint should ideally be unversioned, client support in the wild varies.

If you’re using a versioned v2 endpoint here, then this should not be the same endpoint the service user utilizes for validating tokens, because normal end users may not be able to reach that endpoint. This option is deprecated in favor of www_authenticate_uri and will be removed in the S release.

(Optional) If defined, indicate whether token data should be authenticated or authenticated and encrypted. If MAC, token data is authenticated (with HMAC) in the cache. If ENCRYPT, token data is encrypted and authenticated in the cache. If the value is not one of these options or empty, auth_token will raise an exception on initialization.

Finally the name of a binding method that must be present in tokens.

service_token_roles
Type:

list

Default:

['service']

A choice of roles that must be present in a service token. Service tokens are allowed to request that an expired token can be used and so this check should tightly control that only actual services should be sending this token. Roles here are applied as an ANY check so any role in this list must be present. For backwards compatibility reasons this currently only affects the allow_expired check.

service_token_roles_required

rabbit_ha_queues
Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Try to use HA queues in RabbitMQ (x-ha-policy: all). If you change this option, you must wipe the RabbitMQ database. In RabbitMQ 3.0, queue mirroring is no longer controlled by the x-ha-policy argument when declaring a queue. If you just want to make sure that all queues (except those with auto-generated names) are mirrored across all nodes, run: “rabbitmqctl set_policy HA ‘^(?!amq.).*’ ‘{“ha-mode”: “all”}’ “

rabbit_ha_queues
rabbit_quorum_queue
Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Use quorum queues in RabbitMQ (x-queue-type: quorum). The quorum queue is a modern queue type for RabbitMQ implementing a durable, replicated FIFO queue based on the Raft consensus algorithm. 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:

boolean

Default:

False

Use quorum queues for transients queues in RabbitMQ. Enabling this option will then make sure those queues are also using quorum kind of rabbit queues, which are HA by default.

rabbit_quorum_delivery_limit
Type:

integer

Default:

0

Each time a message is redelivered to a consumer, a counter is incremented. Once the redelivery count exceeds the delivery limit the message gets dropped or dead-lettered (if a DLX exchange has been configured) Used only when rabbit_quorum_queue is enabled, Default 0 which means dont set a limit.

rabbit_quorum_max_memory_length
Type:

integer

Default:

0

By default all messages are maintained in memory if a quorum queue grows in length it can put memory pressure on a cluster. This option can limit the number of messages in the quorum queue. Used only when rabbit_quorum_queue is enabled, Default 0 which means dont set a limit.

Default:

By default all messages are maintained in memory if a quorum queue grows in length it can put memory pressure on a cluster. This option can limit the number of memory bytes used by the quorum queue. Used only when rabbit_quorum_queue is enabled, Default 0 which means dont set a limit.

rabbit_quroum_max_memory_bytes
rabbit_transient_queues_ttl
Type:

integer

Default:

1800

Minimum Value:

0

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.

rabbit_qos_prefetch_count
Type:

integer

Default:

0

Specifies the number of messages to prefetch. Setting to zero allows unlimited messages.

heartbeat_timeout_threshold
Type:

integer

Default:

60

Number of seconds after which the Rabbit broker is considered down if heartbeat’s keep-alive fails (0 disables heartbeat).

heartbeat_rate
Type:

integer

Default:

3

How often times during the heartbeat_timeout_threshold we check the heartbeat.

direct_mandatory_flag
Type:

boolean

Default:

True

(DEPRECATED) Enable/Disable the RabbitMQ mandatory flag for direct send. The direct send is used as reply, so the MessageUndeliverable exception is raised in case the client queue does not exist.MessageUndeliverable exception will be used to loop for a timeout to lets a chance to sender to recover.This flag is deprecated and it will not be possible to deactivate this functionality anymore

Warning

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

Reason:

Mandatory flag no longer deactivable.

enable_cancel_on_failover
Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Enable x-cancel-on-ha-failover flag so that rabbitmq server will cancel and notify consumerswhen queue is down

use_queue_manager
Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Should we use consistant queue names or random ones

hostname
Type:

string

Default:

Type:

string

Default:

sphinx-build

Process name used by queue manager

rabbit_stream_fanout
Type:

boolean

Default:

False

Use stream queues in RabbitMQ (x-queue-type: stream). Streams are a new persistent and replicated data structure (“queue type”) in RabbitMQ which models an append-only log with non-destructive consumer semantics. It is available as of RabbitMQ 3.9.0. If set this option will replace all fanout queues with only one stream queue.

oslo_policy

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.

policy_file
Type:
