| ============================================ |
| |
| Connecting to the OpenStack Swift installation |
| ---------------------------------------------- |
| |
| When connecting to the OpenStack Swift installation, you need to, besides |
| the username and api key argument also pass the following keyword arguments to |
| the driver constructor: |
| |
| * ``ex_force_auth_url`` - Authentication service (Keystone) API URL. It can |
| either be a full URL with a path. |
| * ``ex_force_service_type`` - Service type which will be used to find a |
| matching service in the service catalog. Defaults to ``object-store`` |
| * ``ex_force_service_name`` Service name which will be used to find a matching |
| service in the service catalog. Defaults to ``swift`` |
| |
| For more information about other keyword arguments you can pass to the |
| constructor, please refer to the :ref:`Connecting to the OpenStack installation |
| <connecting-to-openstack-installation>` section of our documentation. |

| Examples |
| -------- |
| |
| 1. Connect to OpenStack Swift Installation |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| This example shows how to connect to a Swift installation which uses a |
| non-default value (``Object Storage Service``) for the service name attribute |
| in the service catalog. |

| :language: python |
| |
| 2. Connecting to Rackspace CloudFiles using a generic Swift driver |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| This example shows how to connect to the Rackspace CloudFiles using a generic |
| Swift driver. |
| |
| Keep in mind that this example is here only for demonstration purposes. When |
| you are connecting to Rackspace CloudFiles installation for real, you should use |
| ``CLOUDFILES`` provider constant which only requires you to specify username, |
| api key and region. |
