That scenario should work, unless you are running glance under uwsgi, in
which case the task engine (used to import the image) does not run.  You
can tell that's the problem if as an admin user you use the command 'glance
task-list'.  You should see a task of type 'api_image_import' with status
'pending'.  (You can do 'glance task-show <task_id>' to see the details of
the task.)

If you are using devstack, you can apply this patch before you call
stack.sh: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/545483/  .  It will allow
everything except Glance to run under uwsgi.
