7.1.40. token
The following table outlines the options available under the [token]
group in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf
file.
Configuration option = Default value | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
| integer value | This controls the number of seconds that a token can be retrieved for beyond the built-in expiry time. This allows long running operations to succeed. Defaults to two days. |
| boolean value | This toggles whether scoped tokens may be re-scoped to a new project or domain, thereby preventing users from exchanging a scoped token (including those with a default project scope) for any other token. This forces users to either authenticate for unscoped tokens (and later exchange that unscoped token for tokens with a more specific scope) or to provide their credentials in every request for a scoped token to avoid re-scoping altogether. |
| boolean value |
Enable storing issued token data to token validation cache so that first token validation doesn’t actually cause full validation cycle. This option has no effect unless global caching is enabled and will still cache tokens even if *Reason:*Keystone already exposes a configuration option for caching tokens. Having a separate configuration option to cache tokens when they are issued is redundant, unnecessarily complicated, and is misleading if token caching is disabled because tokens will still be pre-cached by default when they are issued. The ability to pre-cache tokens when they are issued is going to rely exclusively on the ``keystone.conf [token] caching`` option in the future. |
| integer value |
The number of seconds to cache token creation and validation data. This has no effect unless both global and |
| boolean value | Toggle for caching token creation and validation data. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. |
| integer value | The amount of time that a token should remain valid (in seconds). Drastically reducing this value may break "long-running" operations that involve multiple services to coordinate together, and will force users to authenticate with keystone more frequently. Drastically increasing this value will increase the number of tokens that will be simultaneously valid. Keystone tokens are also bearer tokens, so a shorter duration will also reduce the potential security impact of a compromised token. |
| string value |
Entry point for the token provider in the |
| boolean value |
This toggles support for revoking individual tokens by the token identifier and thus various token enumeration operations (such as listing all tokens issued to a specific user). These operations are used to determine the list of tokens to consider revoked. Do not disable this option if you’re using the |
7.1.41. tokenless_auth
The following table outlines the options available under the [tokenless_auth]
group in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf
file.
Configuration option = Default value | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
| string value | The name of the WSGI environment variable used to pass the issuer of the client certificate to keystone. This attribute is used as an identity provider ID for the X.509 tokenless authorization along with the protocol to look up its corresponding mapping. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to change this value. |
| string value |
The federated protocol ID used to represent X.509 tokenless authorization. This is used in combination with the value of |
| multi valued |
The list of distinguished names which identify trusted issuers of client certificates allowed to use X.509 tokenless authorization. If the option is absent then no certificates will be allowed. The format for the values of a distinguished name (DN) must be separated by a comma and contain no spaces. Furthermore, because an individual DN may contain commas, this configuration option may be repeated multiple times to represent multiple values. For example, keystone.conf would include two consecutive lines in order to trust two different DNs, such as |
7.1.42. totp
The following table outlines the options available under the [totp]
group in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf
file.
Configuration option = Default value | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
| integer value | The number of previous windows to check when processing TOTP passcodes. |
7.1.43. trust
The following table outlines the options available under the [trust]
group in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf
file.
Configuration option = Default value | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
| boolean value |
Allows authorization to be redelegated from one user to another, effectively chaining trusts together. When disabled, the |
| string value |
Entry point for the trust backend driver in the |
| integer value | Maximum number of times that authorization can be redelegated from one user to another in a chain of trusts. This number may be reduced further for a specific trust. |
7.1.44. unified_limit
The following table outlines the options available under the [unified_limit]
group in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf
file.
Configuration option = Default value | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
| integer value |
Time to cache unified limit data, in seconds. This has no effect unless both global caching and |
| boolean value | Toggle for unified limit caching. This has no effect unless global caching is enabled. In a typical deployment, there is no reason to disable this. |
| string value |
Entry point for the unified limit backend driver in the |
| string value | The enforcement model to use when validating limits associated to projects. Enforcement models will behave differently depending on the existing limits, which may result in backwards incompatible changes if a model is switched in a running deployment. |
| integer value | Maximum number of entities that will be returned in a unified limit collection. This may be useful to tune if you have a large number of unified limits in your deployment. |
7.1.45. wsgi
The following table outlines the options available under the [wsgi]
group in the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf
file.
Configuration option = Default value | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
| boolean value | If set to true, this enables the oslo debug middleware in Keystone. This Middleware prints a lot of information about the request and the response. It is useful for getting information about the data on the wire (decoded) and passed to the WSGI application pipeline. This middleware has no effect on the "debug" setting in the [DEFAULT] section of the config file or setting Keystone’s log-level to "DEBUG"; it is specific to debugging the WSGI data as it enters and leaves Keystone (specific request-related data). This option is used for introspection on the request and response data between the web server (apache, nginx, etc) and Keystone. This middleware is inserted as the first element in the middleware chain and will show the data closest to the wire. WARNING: NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN PRODUCTION. THIS MIDDLEWARE CAN AND WILL EMIT SENSITIVE/PRIVILEGED DATA. |
