Ceph » rgw

In the swift authentication page (http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/radosgw/swift/auth/), an example is provided for creating a new user with radosgw-admin. This example creates a user, but afaict, doesn't create a user which can access swift (at any rate, with out further actions).

The automated swift creation in vstart.sh, by contrast, does something like:

radosgw-admin user create --subuser=casey:pokey --uid=casey --display-name="casey" --key-type=swift --secret=bodley --access=full

to create a an identity "casey:pokey" with swift_key "bodley" .

After executing that command, I was able to operate on RGW with the Python swiftclient.
