Basically I'm trying to verify a multi-node Swift manual installation using the instructions on the OpenStack website with 1x proxy and 5x storage nodes and X-Auth. I turned on all services with no errors (well, no errors I didn't fix anyway). My challenge here is with trying to create an account and heading it. Below is what I'm scripting as I go along.

I ran Step1 successfully using system:root as the user, receiving a valid token and storage URL and no errors.

I then executed Step2, I received a 401 Unauthorized reply.

Being a glutton for punishment I ran Step3 which produced another 401 Unauthorized reply.

I ran Step1 again as shown below with test:tester as the user (thinking it was because I don't actually run as root but I run commands via sudo) and I'm realizing it's giving me 401 unauthorized replies no matter what I do.

Is this an obvious problem with an easy remedy? My scripted steps are below:

# 1 Acquire X-Storage-Url and X-Auth-Token
curl -k -v -H 'X-Storage-User: test:tester' -H 'X-Storage-Pass: testing' https://$PROXY_LOCAL_NET_IP:8080/auth/v1.0

# 2 Test HEAD account process
# SAMPLE: curl -k -v -H 'X-Auth-Token: <token-from-x-auth-token-above>' <url-from-x-storage-url-above>
curl -k -v -H 'X-Auth-Token: AUTH_tkf85b7788c36143ac99e5a5b42d95d628' https://$PROXY_LOCAL_NET_IP:8080/v1/AUTH_system

# 3 Test Swift is actually working
swift -A https://$PROXY_LOCAL_NET_IP:8080/auth/v1.0 -U test:tester -K testing stat

Below is a bash history/output of what is happening right now:
