ECS 3.6.2 Data Access Guide

Configure OpenStack Swift and ECS integration

To ensure that an OpenStack Swift service that uses Keystone V3 can authenticate with ECS, you must ensure that the Swift and ECS configurations are consistent.

1. Ensure that the ECS endpoint has been added to the Swift service catalog and is correctly formatted.
   You must ensure that the endpoints are located in the "default" Keystone domain.
2. Log into the ECS Portal as a System Administrator.
3. Create an authentication provider that specifies the Keystone V3 service endpoint and the credentials of an administrator account that can be used to validate tokens.
   See Add a Keystone authentication provider.
4. Create an ECS namespace that has the same ID as the Keystone project/account that the users want to authenticate belong to.
   Obtain the Keystone project ID.
   1. In the ECS Portal, select Manage > Namespace > New Namespace
   2. Enter the name of the namespace.
      This should be the name of the Swift project.
   3. Enter the namespace administrator account as the User Admin.
      This should be the name of a management user that has previously been created.
   4. Configure any other namespace settings that you require.
      For more information about Namespace settings and about creating users in ECS, see the ECS Administration Guide which is available from the https://www.dell.com/support/.
