How to Fix OpenStack s Keystone Authentication Error HTTP 500

Question

I have installed keystone package, but hit with an error while creating an admin user for the cloud. I used the below command.

keystone user-create --name=admin --pass=<admin_password> --email= <admin_email>
An unexpected error prevented the server from fulfilling your request. (HTTP 500)

What I am doing wrong?

Thank You

Hi@akhtar,

To avoid this error, you can follow the bellow given steps.

• You should check the keystone log-file. By default, the keystone logfile is located at “/var/log/keystone/keystone.log” and see what caused HTTP 500 error.

• Check if you are referring to the right ‘OS_SERVICE_ENDPOINT‘ and OS_SERVICE_TOKEN. 

For example-

#export OS_SERVICE_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:35357/v2.0
#export OS_SERVICE_TOKEN= <valid_token>

You should also compare ‘OS_SERVICE_ENDPOINT‘ and ‘OS_SERVICE_TOKEN’ entries in ‘/etc/keystone/keystone.conf‘ file. 

Thank You
