Thanks for all the replies everyone :)

I'm leaning towards going the way Robert suggested on the review [1] -
upload pre-created signing cert, signing key and CA cert to controller
nodes using Heat. This seems like a much cleaner approach to
initializing overcloud than having to SSH into it, and it will solve
both problems i outlined in the initial e-mail.

It creates another problem though - for simple (think PoC) deployments
without external CA we'll need to create the keys/certs
somehow/somewhere anyway :) It shouldn't be hard because it's already
implemented in keystone-manage pki_setup but we should figure out a way
to avoid copy-pasting the world. Maybe Tuskar calling pki_setup locally
and passing a parameter to pki_setup to override default location where
new keys/certs will be generated?


Thanks

I'm adding [Heat] to the subject. After some discussion on IRC it seems that what we need to do with Heat is not totally straightforward.

Here's an attempt at a brief summary:

In TripleO we deploy OpenStack using Heat, the cloud is described in a Heat template [1]. We want to externally generate and then upload 3 small binary files to the controller nodes (Keystone PKI key and certificates [2]). We don't want to generate them in place or scp them into the controller nodes, because that would require having ssh access to the deployed controller nodes, which comes with drawbacks [3].

It would be good if we could have the 3 binary files put into the controller nodes as part of the Heat stack creation. Can we include them in the template somehow? Or is there an alternative feasible approach?


Thank you

Jirka
