 ===== CONFIGURATION =====
-Use a clouds.yaml file to direct your client. Below is a canonical example, but you __will__ have to modify the variables according to your account.
+Use the ''~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml'' file to direct your client.
-''$HOME/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml''
+=== Generate New Credentials ===
+Instead of taking risks and storing your University credentials in the file, use the [[ https://overcloud.cs.uchicago.edu | Web Interface ]] to create an Application Credential. Click the menu on the left side, Identity→Application Credentials. On the right side of the top of the page, click "Create Application Credential". Complete the form and check the box for ''unrestricted access''. Save the ''clouds.yaml'' file in your configuration directory.
+See the [[ cloud:recipe:coding | Python Examples Document ]] for detailed configuration recommendations.
+==Cloud Name==
+For convenience, export the cloud name to your environment. Otherwise, all commands must include the flag ''--os-cloud=openstack'':
 <code>
-clouds:
+export OS_CLOUD=openstack
-  openstack:
-    auth:
-      auth_url: https://overcloud.cs.uchicago.edu:5000
-      username: "CNetID"
-      password: "sekret"
-      project_name: "CNetID"
-      user_domain_name: "CS_LDAP"
-    region_name: "RegionOne"
-    interface: "public"
-    identity_api_version: 3
 </code>
-The [[ cloud:recipe:coding | Python Examples ]] use the same configuration, please read that document for detailed information about configuration and recommendations.
-You can also download a customized version of this data after you authenticate to the Web Interface (click API Access from the menu and then the button "Download Openstackrc File"). Make sure you read this file carefully in case you want to customize it. Your password is not included in the file by default.
