Here is how to get the info needed for Owncloud Enterprise or Community v8 Primary or External Storage intergration with OpenStack Swift.

To verify the needed fields for Primary and External Object Storage integration the following command can be run from the ownCloud server or any system running Linux or Mac OS with curl installed.

    $ curl -s https://my.swiftstack.cluster/auth/v2.0/ -d  \ 
      '{"auth":{"passwordCredentials":{"username":"myUserName","password":"myPassword"}}}' \
      | json_pp

Please note that if http is used then the https after the –s switch should be changed to match. Also, the \ on the first line is not to be included, it is simply to mark that this should be a single command.

Below is the response from a SwiftStack cluster with user “syncNshare” configured as a local user on the SwiftStack controller.

Response:

  {
   "access" : {
      "user" : {
         "name" : "syncNshare",
         "id" : "syncNshare",
         "roles" : [
            {
               "id" : "syncNshare",
               "name" : "syncNshare"
            },
            {
               "name" : "AUTH_syncNshare",
               "id" : "AUTH_syncNshare"
            }
         ]
      },
      "token" : {
         "id" : "AUTH_tk26eba16be2b14031a4c5087aa55d2fbd",
         "expires" : "2015-06-09T00:35:50Z",
         "tenant" : {
            "name" : "AUTH_syncNshare",
            "id" : "AUTH_syncNshare"
         }
      },
      "serviceCatalog" : [
         {
            "endpoints" : [
               {
                  "tenantId" : "AUTH_syncNshare",  ←Tenant Name
                  "publicURL" : "https:// lab.swift.stack /v1/AUTH_syncNshare",
                  "versionId" : 1,
                  "region" : "default"  ←Region
               }
            ],
            "name" : "Swift Object Storage (http://lab.swift.stack)",  ←Service Name
            "type" : "object-store"
         }
      ]
   }
}

For External Storage application plug in the values as follows to OwnCloud.

Username = Username
Bucket = Swift Container
Region = Get from region value above
API Key = leave blank
Tenantname = TenantID from above
Password = password
Service Name = name key from above
URL of identity endpoint = Url used for Swift Auth in my example it was (https://my.swiftstack.cluster/auth/v2.0/)
TimeOut = leave blank

Here are some pics:

I hope this helps others looking to use OwnCloud and OpenStack Swift,

As i understand API Key is required for Rackspace Cloud Files. This is not required for OpenStack Swift. Leave it empty.

I found that even though the documentation SAID that the API Key was not required, I did not get a green light until I put something in that space.
