Using OpenStack Dashboard for key management
SSH key pairs allow users to connect to their Linux instances without requiring passwords, and it is the default access mechanism for almost all Linux images that you will use for OpenStack. Users can manage their own key pairs through the OpenStack Dashboard. Usually, this is the first task a new user has to do when given access to our OpenStack environment.
Getting ready
Load a web browser, point it to our OpenStack Dashboard address at http://192.168.100.117/
, and log in as a user in the default
domain, such as the developer
user, created in the Common OpenStack identity tasks recipe in Chapter 2, The OpenStack Client, with the cookbook4
password. The URL for our dashboard is same as the public load balancer IP as discussed in Chapter 1, Installing OpenStack with Ansible. If you need to find out at what URL your Horizon is, use public IP from the OpenStack catalog list as described in Chapter 3, Keystone – OpenStack Identity Service.
