Authentication
================
Swift API requests that require authentication must contain an
``X-Storage-Token`` authentication token in the request header.
The token may be retrieved from RADOS Gateway, or from another authenticator.
To obtain a token from RADOS Gateway, you must create a user. For example::
sudo radosgw-admin user create --subuser="{username}:{subusername}" --uid="{username}"
--display-name="{Display Name}" --key-type=swift --secret="{password}" --access=full
For details on RADOS Gateway administration, see `radosgw-admin`_.
.. _radosgw-admin: ../../../man/8/radosgw-admin/
.. note::
For those used to the Swift API this is implementing the Swift auth v1.0 API, as such
`{username}` above is generally equivalent to a Swift `account` and `{subusername}`
is a user under that account.
Auth Get
--------
To authenticate a user, make a request containing an ``X-Auth-User`` and a
``X-Auth-Key`` in the header.
