Django OpenStack Auth

Django OpenStack Auth is a pluggable Django authentication backend that works with Django’s contrib.auth framework to authenticate a user against OpenStack’s Keystone Identity API.

The current version is designed to work with the Keystone V2 API.

Getting Started

Installation

Installing is quick and easy:

  1. Run pip install django_openstack_auth.

  2. Add openstack_auth to settings.INSTALLED_APPS.

  3. Add 'keystone_auth.backend.KeystoneBackend' to your settings.AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS, e.g.:

    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ('keystone_auth.backend.KeystoneBackend',)
    
  4. Configure your API endpoint(s) in settings.py:

    OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_URL = "http://example.com:5000/v2.0"
    
  5. Include 'keystone_auth.urls' somewhere in your urls.py file.

  6. Use it as you would any other Django auth backend.
