Hello,

I’m trying to configure keystone domains/projects/users through Ansible using os\_keystone\_domain/os\_keystone\_project & os\_user modules but I’m having difficultys understanding the authentication method.

I have preset j2 template that’s placed on the host(admin-openrc) and all of the information is also defined as variables that get included into the playbook but there does not seem to be a way to use those.

As far as i know i need to only use the admin\_token in keystone and the default ‘admin’ user but I cant parse them into the playbook. What I’ve got so far is:

- name: Keystone domain creation  
os\_keystone\_domain:  
state: present  
name: ‘{{ openstack\_domain }}’  
description: Admin domain

Is there a easy way to pass admin/admin\_token.  
Would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
