Alternatively, you can follow the method used in devstack[1] to retrieve valid credentials by using python-keystoneclient:

keystone --os-username=xxx --os-tenant-name=xxx --os-auth-url=http://$KEYSTONE_HOST:5000/v2.0 ec2-credentials-create

Therefore I want to setup api keys so that users can view their credentials similar to HP Openstack.
