The 'config show' command will show information about your current configuration. When using a 'cloud.yaml' file and the 'OS_CLOUD' environment variable, the output of this will look like so: $ openstack config show +---------------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +---------------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | additional_user_agent | [('osc-lib', '2.6.0')] | | api_timeout | None | | auth.auth_url | https://example.com:13000 | | auth.password | <redacted> | | auth.project_domain_id | default | | auth.project_id | c73b7097d07c46f78eb4b4dcfbac5ca8 | | auth.project_name | test-project | | auth.user_domain_name | example.com | | auth.username | john-doe | ... All of the 'auth.'-prefixed values are extracted from the corresponding entry in the 'clouds.yaml' file. You'll note that the 'auth.password' value is not shown. Instead, it is masked and replaced with '<redacted>'. However, a 'clouds.yaml' file is not the only way to configure these tools. You can also use old school environment variables. By using an openrc file from Horizon (or the clouds2env tool [1]), we will set various 'OS_'-prefixed environment variables. When you use the 'config show' command with these environment variables set, we will see all of these values appear in the output *without* an 'auth.' prefix. Scanning down we will see the password value is not redacted. $ openstack config show +---------------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +---------------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | additional_user_agent | [('osc-lib', '2.6.0')] | | api_timeout | None | ... | password | secret-password | ... This will also happen if using tokens. This is obviously incorrect. These should be masked also. Make it so. This involves enhancing our fake config generation code to generate config that looks like it came from environment variables.

OpenStackClient
OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Network, Object Store and Block Storage APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.
The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip:
pip install python-openstackclient
There are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options
and supported commands is shown with --help
:
openstack --help
There is also a help
command that can be used to get
help text for a specific command:
openstack help
openstack help server create
If you want to make changes to the OpenStackClient for testing and contribution, make any changes and then run:
python setup.py develop
or:
pip install -e .
Configuration
The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line options as listed in https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/cli/authentication.html.
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used:
For a local user, your configuration will look like the one below:
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity> export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name> export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=<project-domain-name> export OS_USERNAME=<username> export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=<user-domain-name> export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-auth-url <url> --os-identity-api-version 3 --os-project-name <project-name> --os-project-domain-name <project-domain-name> --os-username <username> --os-user-domain-name <user-domain-name> [--os-password <password>]
For a federated user, your configuration will look the so:
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name> export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=<project-domain-name> export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity> export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 export OS_AUTH_PLUGIN=openid export OS_AUTH_TYPE=v3oidcpassword export OS_USERNAME=<username-in-idp> export OS_PASSWORD=<password-in-idp> export OS_IDENTITY_PROVIDER=<the-desired-idp-in-keystone> export OS_CLIENT_ID=<the-client-id-configured-in-the-idp> export OS_CLIENT_SECRET=<the-client-secred-configured-in-the-idp> export OS_OPENID_SCOPE=<the-scopes-of-desired-attributes-to-claim-from-idp> export OS_PROTOCOL=<the-protocol-used-in-the-apache2-oidc-proxy> export OS_ACCESS_TOKEN_TYPE=<the-access-token-type-used-by-your-idp> export OS_DISCOVERY_ENDPOINT=<the-well-known-endpoint-of-the-idp>
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-project-name <project-name> --os-project-domain-name <project-domain-name> --os-auth-url <url-to-openstack-identity> --os-identity-api-version 3 --os-auth-plugin openid --os-auth-type v3oidcpassword --os-username <username-in-idp> --os-password <password-in-idp> --os-identity-provider <the-desired-idp-in-keystone> --os-client-id <the-client-id-configured-in-the-idp> --os-client-secret <the-client-secred-configured-in-the-idp> --os-openid-scope <the-scopes-of-desired-attributes-to-claim-from-idp> --os-protocol <the-protocol-used-in-the-apache2-oidc-proxy> --os-access-token-type <the-access-token-type-used-by-your-idp> --os-discovery-endpoint <the-well-known-endpoint-of-the-idp>
If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively prompted to provide one securely.
