Hello.

I am developing GUI tests (Selenium) for the openstack director. I am now trying to make use of tempest Swift client in one of the tests which needs to fetch a file from the tripleo plans. I added this code in our base class to access the client:

class GUITestCase(test.BaseTestCase):

    credentials = ('admin', 'primary')

    @classmethod
    def setup_clients(cls):
        super(GUITestCase, cls).setup_clients()
        # Clients for Swift    
        cls.account_client = cls.os_admin.account_client
        cls.container_client = cls.os_admin.container_client
        cls.object_client = cls.os_admin.object_client

I then try to list the objects in the "overcloud" container, which is where the default plans are found:

class TestSwift(GUITestCase):

    def test_swift(self):
        (resp, body) = self.container_client.list_container_objects(
            "overcloud")
        print resp
        print body

It returns a "not found" error. I'm pretty sure that the reason for it not finding the container (which is definitely there) is that it creates a project and a user for itself, and uses those credentials for its interactions with the undercloud. I can see the POST calls in tempest.log that show that it's creating itself the dynamic credentials:

So I'm looking for a way to utilize the client without it automatically creating itself dynamic credentials; it has to use the already-existing admin credentials on the admin project in order to see the container with the plans. What's the right way to do that, please? Thanks a lot in advance!
