Verify operation¶

Verify operation of the Key Manager (barbican) service.

1. Install python-barbicanclient package:

   • For openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise:

     $ zypper install python-barbicanclient
     

   • For Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS:

     $ yum install python-barbicanclient
     

   • For Ubuntu:

     $ apt-get install python-barbicanclient
     

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

   $ . admin-openrc
   

3. Use the OpenStack CLI to store a secret:

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

   Note

   Some items are populated after the secret has been created and will only display when retrieving it.

5. 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
