You can run these commands from the proxy server or any server with access to the Identity Service.

First, export the swift admin password (setup previously) in a variable so it can be re-used.

$ export ADMINPASS=secrete

Note

If you do not wish to have the swift admin password stored in your shell's history, you may perform the following:

$ export SWIFT_PROXY_CONF="/etc/swift/proxy-server.conf export ADMINPASS=$( grep admin_password ${SWIFT_PROXY_CONF} | awk '{ print $NF }' )

Run the swift CLI, swift, with the correct Identity service URL. Export the information for ADMINPASS using $ export ADMINPASS=secrete.
```
$ swift -V 2.0 -A http://<AUTH_HOSTNAME>:5000/v2.0 -U demo:admin -K $ADMINPASS stat
            
```

Get an X-Storage-Url and X-Auth-Token:

$ curl -k -v -H 'X-Storage-User: demo:admin' -H 'X-Storage-Pass: $ADMINPASS' http://<AUTH_HOSTNAME>:5000/auth/v2.0

Check that you can HEAD the account:

$ curl -k -v -H 'X-Auth-Token: <token-from-x-auth-token-above>' <url-from-x-storage-url-above>

Use swift to upload a few files named ‘bigfile[1-2].tgz’ to a container named ‘myfiles’:

$ swift -A http://<AUTH_HOSTNAME>:5000/v2.0 -U demo:admin -K $ADMINPASS upload myfiles bigfile1.tgz
$ swift -A http://<AUTH_HOSTNAME>:5000/v2.0 -U demo:admin -K $ADMINPASS upload myfiles bigfile2.tgz

Use swift to download all files from the ‘myfiles’ container:

$ swift -A http://<AUTH_HOSTNAME>:5000/v2.0 -U demo:admin -K $ADMINPASS download myfiles

	Note
	If you are using swauth in preference to the OpenStack Identity service, you should use the `default_swift_cluster` variable to connect to your swift cluster. Please follow the swauth documentation to verify your installation.
