[Openstack] Ceilometer "Authentication required" Error

Hi All,

I'm trying to get Ceilometer working on OpenStack Havana (installed via DevStack<http://devstack.org/>) but running into issues with the APIs. I believe Ceilometer is installed and enabled but when I hit http://[my_vm_hostname]:8777/ just like that or with any parameters I just get "Authentication required" back.

I thought maybe this was an issue with my Keystone configuration so I tried following the instructions found here<http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/install/manual.html#configuring-keystone-to-work-with-api> but whenever I try making a keystone call I just get "You are not authorized to perform the requested action, admin_required. (HTTP 403)."

When I ran keystone token-get it looks like the user_id it's returning is implying that I'm running as the "demo" user but I don't know how to switch to the "admin" user. Looks like the openrc file<http://devstack.org/openrc.html> from DevStack already set all the necessary environment variables as far as I can tell and I've sourced that so should be all good there.

I tried following the instructions here<https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_OpenStack/1/html/Getting_Started_Guide/ch02s02.html> to create an admin user but, no surprise, I get the not authorized error again.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, really looking forward to using Ceilometer!

Thanks,
Mark
