  4. Hi can you guys help me with VNC problem with Ubuntu UEC image. It requires an username and password to login, but people say that there is no password for UEC image, right? So how can I use VNC with these type of instance? Thanks!

  5. It’s a very good document! Thanks. Reading page 12 a i’ve got a little doubt… there is a phrase : “Keystone provides two ways of authentication. One is username/password based and the other is token based.” But (I don’t know if i’m really right), the username and password are the credentials used to generate the token, so there is only one way of authentication, that is based on token validation. Am i right?

  6. Hello,
    I try to install glance as explained on page 28, but I still have the error message: “index glance
    Failed to show index. Got error: You are not authenticated.
    Details: 401 Unauthorized This server Could not verify That You are autorisée to access the document you Requested. Either you the wrong Supplied credentials (eg, bad password), or your Browser does not Understand how to supply the credentials required. Authentication required ”
    There is an error with admin_tenant_name = service
    admin_user = glance
    ADMIN_PASSWORD = glance

    Because I tried the same procedure on another server with :
    admin_tenant_name = admin
    admin_user = admin
    ADMIN_PASSWORD = password
    look : https://github.com/EmilienM/doc-openstack

    and it works.
    thank you very much.

  10. Hi,

    Thanks for documentation.

    Do you think writing OpenStack ‘Folsom’ Beginner’s Guide?

    • Yea. We did plan Folsom and it got stalled ’cause we kinda split up.. We’re planning for a Grizzly one. And Havana hopefully. 🙂

  11. There is a great OpenStack Grizzly sandbox. It’s a Amazon PAID AMI called NanoStack from Diamond Keys. It’s pretty cheap. There is no installation or configuration. Just launch an instance and you get a working OpenStack installation.
