This chapter explains how to use the Debian debconf
and dbconfig-common
packages to
configure OpenStack services. These packages enable users to
perform configuration tasks. When users install OpenStack
packages, debconf prompts the user for
responses, which seed the contents of configuration files
associated with that package. After package installation, users
can update the configuration of a package by using the
dpkg-reconfigure program.
If you are familiar with these packages and pre-seeding, you can proceed to Chapter 4, Configure the Identity Service.
