One of the unique characteristics of Swift, when compared to other OpenStack projects is that Swift can be run completely standalone. While Swift can be used with other OpenStack projects, it does not have any direct dependencies on those projects. For example, Swift can be configured to use its own internal authentication system or it can be configured to use Keystone. It is important to understand this nuance when troubleshooting Swift Authentication problems. Typically, a Swift installation will be configured to use one of the three authentication methods: TempAuth, Swauth, or Keystone. To determine which authentication method Swift is using, look in the proxy-server.conf
configuration file located at /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf
. In this file, there is a stanza named [pipeline:main]
. This stanza will contain a string representing the authentication method being used, either tempauth
or swauth
.
