following tasks on an infrastructure host.

Verify the API
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The utility container provides a CLI environment for additional
configuration and testing.

#. Determine the name of the utility container:

   .. code-block:: console

      # lxc-ls | grep utility
      infra1_utility_container-161a4084

#. Access the utility container:

   .. code-block:: console

      # lxc-attach -n infra1_utility_container-161a4084

#. Source the ``admin`` tenant credentials:

   .. code::

      $ . ~/openrc

#. List your openstack users:

   .. code-block:: console

      # openstack user list --os-cloud=default

Verifying the Dashboard (horizon)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#. With a web browser, access the Dashboard by using the external load
   balancer IP address defined by the ``external_lb_vip_address`` option
   in the ``/etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml`` file. The
   Dashboard uses HTTPS on port 443.

#. Authenticate by using the ``admin`` user name and the password defined by
   the ``keystone_auth_admin_password`` option in the
   ``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml`` file.
