Clearing the Keystone Environment
If you spend a lot of time switching between different cloud, different users, or even different projects for the same user when working with openstack, you’ve come across the problem where one environment variable from an old sourceing pollutes the current environment. I’ve been hit by that enough times that I wrote a small script to clear the environment.

Reproducing an Open vSwitch Bridge Configuration
In the previous post, I described the setup for installing FreeIPA on a VM parallel to the undercloud VM setup by Tripleo Quickstart. The network on the undercloud VM has been setup up by Ironic and Neutron to listen on a network defined for the overcloud. I want to reproduce this on a second machine that is not enrolled in the undercloud. How can I reproduce the steps?

I’ve been talking about using FreeIPA to secure OpenStack since the Havana summit in Portland. I’m now working with Tripleo to install OpenStack. To get the IPA server installed along with Tripleo Quickstart requires a VM accessible from the Ansible playbook.
