Janus I think you can use curl and Keystone API to validate your token: curl -s -H "X-Auth-Token: <your token>" http://<keystone>:5000/v2.0 | python -mjson.tool I think you can also validate the token against a tenant by using belongsTo. Maybe there are better ways. Best Haitao On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 12:36 PM, Janus Godard <jgvant at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to OpenStack.
