Configure Resource Provider

In the HCM environment, the capsule deployment automatically creates a Resource Provider and the required provider properties with sample values. You can edit the provider details and its properties with appropriate values. See Edit Resource Provider and Edit Provider Properties.

Note During a fresh installation, Provider type, Provider and Provider properties are created. During an upgrade, Provider properties are added to the existing Provider.

Edit Resource Provider

The following Provider is created after you install the content capsule:

Provider Name Provider Type Service Access Point
OPENSTACK OpenStack

Provide OpenStack identity service API access endpoint: http://<openstack-identity-service-ip or host>:<port>/version

For example:

http://<openstack-host>:5000/v3
http://<openstack-host>:5000/v2.0

Tip For secure configuration of the provider, the secure authentication is recommended.

Example: https://<openstack-host>:5000/v3

OpenStack - Multi-tenant Support v4.0 service design requires Keystone API version 3.

User name and password: OpenStack Admin User and password.
