Accessing the Openstack API in Bluemix - virtual-machine

Question

For the VM capability in Bluemix, is it possible to use the OpenStack API? If so, how do you access it?
I'm trying to use these URLs :
https://keystone2.open.ibmcloud.com/v2.0/tokens (POST) with this payload:
{"auth": {
"tenantName": "myTenant",
"passwordCredentials": {"username": "myUser", "password": "myPwd"}
} }
https://keystone2.open.ibmcloud.com/v3/auth/tokens (POST) with this payload :
{ "auth": { "identity": {
"methods": [ "password" ],
"password": { "user": { "id": "myID", "password": "myPWD" } }
} } }
In both cases, I get this answer:
error: {
message: "KS-58299FC La requête que vous avez faite nécessite une authentification."
code: 401
title: "Unauthorized"
}
What's my mistake?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You need to login using the OpenStack credentials, not your Bluemix ID. To see those credentials, in the Bluemix dashboard, go to Mange Organization > Manage Infrastructure, and select Show Credentials. It will display data that looks something like this:
{
"auth_url": "https://keystone2.open.ibmcloud.com",
"tenant": "TENANT",
"credentials": {
"username": "USER",
"password": "PWD"
}
}
Then run the command with the body you had, but using these credentials:
{"auth": {
"tenantName": "TENANT",
"passwordCredentials": {"username": "USER", "password": "PWD"}
} }

Answer 2

This should be the POST body looks like if you want to get the auth token:
{
"auth": {
"tenantName": "demo",
"passwordCredentials": {
"username": "demo",
"password": "secretsecret"
}
}
}
and the URL should be: https://keystone2.open.ibmcloud.com/v2.0/tokens
Please refer: http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-identity-v2.html
After got the token you can access all the resources provide by OpenStack.
