multi tenancy support on openstack

[Inbar Stolberg <in...@gmail.com>]

hey all
i would like to support an open stack node multiple tenants.
If i dont want to hold a Context for each tenant separately is there a way
to replace the token inside an existing Context?

also is there a way to clone a context so that I may use a single context
in my code to manage all the Tenants in a multithreaded environment?

thanks
regards inbar

Thanks. That helped a lot.
I hope the auth with token will be pushed soon.
I will glad if any one can update once it is. I will defiantly be waiting
for it.

Btw Alcatel cloudband team is going to start using jclouds 1.8 in the
commingle weeks so there are going to be some good contributions to jclouds
openstack from the team :)

This is being worked on

I wrote this a while ago. It should still work.

thanks for the reply,

I am trying to manage a multi tenant node and holding context for each
tenant seems like a lot of memory for one node, on the other hand i would
like to reauthenticate on every API call from a different tenant.
that leads me to the next two questions:

is there a way to create an openstack jclouds context using the token
instead of the username and password?
and is there a way to get the token back from jclouds context?

Not that I am aware of, I'm afraid. Is there some specific reason you  
cannot invoke the ContextBuilder with the same properties again to  
create a new context?
