swauth 1.3.0

Swauth

An Auth Service for Swift as WSGI Middleware that uses Swift itself as a backing store. Docs at: <https://swauth.readthedocs.io/> or ask in #openstack-swauth on freenode [IRC](http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-swauth/).

See also <https://github.com/openstack/keystone> for the standard OpenStack auth service.

NOTE

Be sure to review the docs at: <https://swauth.readthedocs.io/>

Quick Install

1. Install Swauth with sudo python setup.py install or sudo python setup.py develop or via whatever packaging system you may be using.

2. Alter your proxy-server.conf pipeline to have swauth instead of tempauth:

   Was:

   [pipeline:main] pipeline = catch_errors cache tempauth proxy-server

   Change To:

   [pipeline:main] pipeline = catch_errors cache swauth proxy-server

3. Add to your proxy-server.conf the section for the Swauth WSGI filter:

   [filter:swauth] use = egg:swauth#swauth set log_name = swauth super_admin_key = swauthkey

4. Be sure your proxy server allows account management:

   [app:proxy-server] … allow_account_management = true

5. Restart your proxy server swift-init proxy reload

6. Initialize the Swauth backing store in Swift swauth-prep -K swauthkey

7. Add an account/user swauth-add-user -A http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/ -K swauthkey -a test tester testing

8. Ensure it works swift -A http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/v1.0 -U test:tester -K testing stat -v

Web Admin Install

1. If you installed from packages, you’ll need to cd to the webadmin directory the package installed. This is /usr/share/doc/python-swauth/webadmin with the Lucid packages. If you installed from source, you’ll need to cd to the webadmin directory in the source directory.

2. Upload the Web Admin files with swift -A http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/v1.0 -U .super_admin:.super_admin -K swauthkey upload .webadmin .

3. Open http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/ in your browser.

Swift3 Middleware Compatibility

[Swift3 middleware](https://github.com/openstack/swift3) can be used with swauth when auth_type in swauth is configured to be Plaintext (default).

[pipeline:main] pipeline = catch_errors cache swift3 swauth proxy-server

It can be used with auth_type set to Sha1/Sha512 too but with certain caveats and security concern. Hence, s3 support is disabled by default and you have to explicitly enable it in your configuration. Refer to swift3 compatibility [section](https://swauth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#swift3-middleware-compatibility) in documentation for further details
