Created attachment 763417 [details] logs Description of problem: I installed an allinone+ a nova compute node. when I wanted to check status of instances and need to login through keystone_admin in the compute I noticed that the keystonerc_admin does not exists under /root. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-packstack-2013.1.1-0.19.dev632.el6ost.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install two nova-computes using packstack 2. login to one of the computes and ls -l /root 3. Actual results: keystonerc_admin does not exists under /root in the second compute I installed Expected results: we should copy the keystonerc_admin to all computes if user is installing through packstack or ask if they are interested in doing that during the installation Additional info:
The keystonerc file is actually very security sensitive, and as such, we want to have as few copies of it as possible. Copying it to every compute node would not be wise. Packstack allows you to specify a machine that you want to use as your OpenStack client. The rc file is copied to /root on that designated machine. In an all-in-one install, that means the rc file is placed on the local machine in /root You would not typically use a Compute Node as your OpenStack client machine (except in an all in one mode install) So, this is not a feature we should implement.
