Verify operation¶

Verify operation of the Key Manager (barbican) service.

1. Source the admin credentials to be able to perform Barbican API calls:

   $ . admin-openrc
   

2. Use the OpenStack CLI to store a secret:

   $ openstack secret store --name mysecret --payload j4=]d21

4. Confirm that the secret payload was stored by retrieving it:

   $ openstack secret get http://10.0.2.15:9311/v1/secrets/655d7d30-c11a-49d9-a0f1-34cdf53a36fa --payload
