 ===== 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''
-<code>
-clouds:
-  openstack:
-    auth:
-      auth_url: https://overcloud.cs.uchicago.edu:5000
-      username: "CNetID"
-      password: "sekret" # don't store your credential on our servers
-      project_name: "CNetID"
-      user_domain_name: "CS_LDAP"
-    region_name: "RegionOne"
-    interface: "public"
-    identity_api_version: 3

-**NOTE**
+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, Project→API Access. On the right side of the top of the page, click "Download Openstack RC File"→"Openstack clouds.yaml file".
-The problem here is that you are taking risks by storing your University credentials in a file. Instead, you can use the API or [[ https://overcloud.cs.uchicago.edu | web interface ]] to create an Application Credential. For example,
-<code>
-openstack application credential create --secret sekret --role member --expiration 2020-10-10:10:10:10 --restricted myapp
-</code>
 See the [[ cloud:recipe:coding | Python Examples Document ]] for detailed configuration recommendations.
