Description

For a better and more secure user experience we will require all users in OpenStack IaaS to authenticate against the Elastx identity provider (IdP). Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is required and you can use either TOTP or hardware keys in combination with a password. This is also a preparation for the launch of the Elastx Cloud Console (ECC). With the Elastx IdP you will have one account to access all ECP services. We have postponed the migration one week, from 2026-03-23 to 2026-03-30. If you do not already have an Elastx IdP account one will be created for you automatically at 2026-03-30. At this time we will no longer support OpenStack user accounts with Keystone Credentials. The ability to manage users in the OpenStack web UI will also be replaced with user management in Elastx Cloud Console. If you want to enable idp for your user account before this date please contact our support. All programmatic integrations with OpenStack IaaS must be done with “application credentials” or “ec2 credentials”. If you are currently using a user account with Keystone Credentials (username and password), that integration will fail after all users are migrated to IdP authentication with MFA. This includes integrations with Swift Object storage which is the most common service to integrate with. Here is a guide on how to create application credentials, https://docs.elastx.cloud/docs/openstack-iaas/guides/application_credentials/ Here is a guide on how to create ec2 credentials, https://docs.elastx.cloud/docs/openstack-iaas/guides/ec2_credentials/ This change will take effect starting March 30, 2026. If you have any general questions or would like to sign-up please contact us at hello@elastx.se. Any technical questions please register a support ticket at https://support.elastx.se.
