Description of problem: There is a misconfiguration of heat.conf when heat is installed via packstack: [ec2authtoken] auth_uri=http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/ec2tokens This is incorrect, and leads to this error when trying to authenticate with ec2 credentials (affects the heat-api-cfn and heat-api-cloudwatch services): 2014-06-09 13:34:04.367 924 INFO heat.api.aws.ec2token [-] Checking AWS credentials.. 2014-06-09 13:34:04.369 924 INFO heat.api.aws.ec2token [-] AWS credentials found, checking against keystone. 2014-06-09 13:34:04.370 924 INFO heat.api.aws.ec2token [-] Authenticating with http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/ec2tokens/ec2tokens 2014-06-09 13:34:04.393 924 INFO urllib3.connectionpool [-] Starting new HTTP connection (1): 127.0.0.1 2014-06-09 13:34:04.397 924 INFO heat.api.aws.ec2token [-] AWS authentication failure. This means things like waitcondition notifications via AWS::CloudFormation::WaitConditionHandle and OS::Heat::UpdateWaitConditionHandle won't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-puppet-modules-2014.1-14.2.el7ost.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install heat via packstack, enabling CONFIG_HEAT_CFN_INSTALL 2. Try to launch a template containing a waitcondition 3. Observe failure and the error above in the logs Additional info: This happens because the heat ec2token middleware already appends the "ec2tokens" path to the auth_uri. It's actually not necessary to set anything at all in the ec2authtoken section of heat.conf with recent versions of heat, as we can use the auth_uri from keystone_authtoken instead. I've posted a patch making heat tolerant of the URL including the "ec2tokens" path suffix: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/98827/ However a possibly preferable solution is just to update the puppet manifest so it doesn't set auth_uri in the ec2tokens section at all.
