Tempest Test-Account Generator Utility¶
Utility for creating accounts.yaml file for concurrent test runs. Creates one primary user, one alt user, one swift admin, one stack owner and one admin (optionally) for each concurrent thread. The utility creates user for each tenant. The accounts.yaml file will be valid and contain credentials for created users, so each user will be in separate tenant and have the username, tenant_name, password and roles.
Usage: tempest account-generator [-h] [OPTIONS] accounts_file.yaml.
Positional Arguments¶
accounts_file.yaml (Required) Provide an output accounts yaml file. Utility creates a .yaml file in the directory where the command is ran. The appropriate name for the file is accounts.yaml and it should be placed in tempest/etc directory.
Authentication¶
Account generator creates users and tenants so it needs the admin credentials of your cloud to operate properly. The corresponding info can be given either through CLI options or environment variables.
You're probably familiar with these, but just to remind:
| Param | CLI | Environment Variable |
|---|---|---|
| Username | --os-username | OS_USERNAME |
| Password | --os-password | OS_PASSWORD |
| Project | --os-project-name | OS_PROJECT_NAME |
| Tenant | --os-tenant-name (depr.) | OS_TENANT_NAME |
| Domain | --os-domain-name | OS_DOMAIN_NAME |
