Deleting domains

Keystone domains can be deleted if there are no users associated with them. If there are any users associated with the domain when trying to delete it, an error will be shown. In this example, we will show how to delete a domain that is no longer being used, called olddomain.

Getting ready

Ensure that you are logged on to a correctly configured OpenStack client and can access the OpenStack environment as a user with admin privileges.

3. Disable the domain:

   openstack domain set --disable  olddomain...
