OpenStack Swift quota

Hello Thomas,

We have just figured out what caused the authentication issue. Before doing any quota-related operations we need to manually assign the ResellerAdmin role to our user. By default, even if it's an admin user it does not have the ResellerAdmin role assigned.

Right now we have successfully executed both "swift post -m quota-bytes:5000" and "swift --os-storage-url  https://<proxy-url>/v1/AUTH_<PROJECT-ID> post -m quota-bytes:5000". But after this step we can still upload files that are much larger than 5000 bytes to containers. Are there any other prerequisites that we miss? In order to let the project level quota work, what else do we need to implement?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks again!

Hi,

Please avoid HTML and screenshots when sending to mailing lists.

Have you checked that you have the quota middleware activated (and at
the correct position) in your swift proxy pipeline?

Cheers,
