Re: Problems connecting Dashboard and Nova

 

Have you set up and configured a keystone instance for authentication?  The
dashboard only supports Keystone based authentication right now, and it
looks like you're trying to connect to nova using Nova's builtin auth.  That
howto you are following is quite old.   If you're looking to get openstack
up and running on a single box, you might want to try this script (
https://github.com/4P/deployscripts/blob/master/nova.sh) which sets up
nova+keystone+glance+dashboard on a single host.

 If you'd like to modify your existing setup, take a look at
https://github.com/openstack/keystone, which talks about how to set up
keystone and integrate it into your nova installation.
