I have installed grizzly on centOS using the below mentioned documentation- http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/yum/content/ch_installing-openstack-overview.html

When I go to dashboard in various work spaces, I get errors like

Error: Unauthorized: Unable to retrieve volume list. Error: Unauthorized: Unable to retrieve volume types Error: Unauthorized: Unable to retrieve quota information.

in httpd log there are multiple occurance of an error [error] Unauthorized: Unauthorized (HTTP 401)

Also in keystone log I see multiple warnings WARNING [keystone.common.wsgi] Authorization failed. The request you have made requires authentication. from 127.0.0.1

Can anyone please explain what has gone wrong? how to resolve this?

I was able to figure out the issue, The script which was used to populate DB ( https://github.com/openstack/keystone/blob/master/tools/sample_data.sh ) did not created cinder user account. After adding it , it started working.

I hit the same issue and did following to solve:

1) mysql -u root;

2) CREATE USER 'cinder'@'localhost';

3) quit;

After above steps if problem persists : you need to make sure you logout of openstack and login again. If your browser has session valid, you need to invalidate it.

Is there a traceback before that error, that may provide more information?

Does this happen for all the panels (Overview, Instances, Volumes, etc...) or only Volumes?

Please check that cinder is up and working correctly (e.g. cinder list from the command line doesn't fail with the same error).

Did you try logging out and back in again?

This error is reported for Overview, volumes,system info, images and snapshots work spaces. The issue doesn't seems to be only dashboard because when I try to create volume from command line ( cinder create) ERROR: Unauthorized is reported there as well & even cinder list command reports ERROR: Unauthorized . Here is a pastebin link for the stack trace shown in httpd log http://pastebin.com/EjEB6vQE

Cinder api log has following error 2013-10-14 05:56:30 WARNING [keystoneclient.middleware.auth_token] Unexpected response from keystone service: {u'error': {u'message': u'The request you have made requires authentication.', u'code': 401, u'title': u'Not Authorized'}}

This all points toward an issue with the Cinder (Block Storage) configuration, double check that your configuration files in /etc/cinder/ are correct. Especially auth_strategy and the [keystone_authtoken] section in cinder.conf, and the [filter:authtoken] section in api-paste.ini

I have checked ....here are the files http://pastebin.com/uah7JMAB Do you see any issues with this configuration?

I'm less familiar with Cinder. What I would check: do you actually have a user called 'cinder' , with password 'cinder', that is a member of a tenant/project called 'service'? If not, create it using e.g. the Admin dashboard and Users/Projects. If it still doesn't work, I would also change in the...
