Open Stack

So creating the configuration file used to be done automatically via a nova-manage project zipfile, but it got removed along with the deprecated auth removal. A user should be able to generate the required certificate and private key from nova using novaclient via:

nova x509-create-cert (it downloads the files as pk.pem and cert.pem)

You can get the ip and port for a project using:

nova cloudpipe-list

Then you can create the certfile manually from:

nova/cloudpipe/client.ovpn.template

you will have to replace the file names with pk.pem and cert.pem and ip and port with the data from the cloudpipe-list call.

We really should add a GET to the cloudpipes extension that is not admin only so that a user can retrieve the ip and port for his or her own cloudpipe. Then we could create a novaclient command to generate the ovpn template for you (move the template into novaclient). This would allow a user to get the configuration for his or her cloudpipe without needing an admin to generate it.

This seemed to try to  connect and didn't complete [kept retrying] so I'm not sure if it was the process I used to create the image or configuration issues that caused my problem
