1.2. Authentication

Each HTTP request against the OpenStack Compute system requires the inclusion of specific authentication credentials. A single deployment may support multiple authentication schemes (OAuth, Basic Auth, Token). The authentication scheme used is determined by the provider of the OpenStack Compute system. Please contact your provider to determine the best way to authenticate against this API.

[Note]Note

Some authentication schemes may require that the API operate using SSL over HTTP (HTTPS).
