Authentication

The current version of the OpenStack Quantum service does not require that each request will include the credentials of the user submitting the request.

However, Quantum deployments can support several authentication schemes (OAuth, Basic Auth, Token). The authentication scheme used is determined by the provider of the Quantum service. Please contact your provider to determine the best way to authenticate against this API.

Ideally, middleware modules for Authentication and/or Authorization should be inserted in the first stages of the Quantum pipeline (available in etc/quantum.conf).

	Note
	Some authentication schemes may require that the API operate using SSL over HTTP (HTTPS).
