Warning

The v2.0 portion of this response will be removed in the T release. It is only advertised here because the v2.0 API supports the ec2tokens API until the T release. All other functionality of the v2.0 has been removed as of the Queens release. Use v3 for all functionality as it is more complete and secure.

Getting a token from a token¶

Get a token from a token:

curl -i \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '
{ "auth": {
    "identity": {
      "methods": ["token"],
      "token": {
        "id": "'$OS_TOKEN'"
      }
    }
  }
}' \
  "http://localhost:5000/v3/auth/tokens" ; echo

Example response:

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
X-Subject-Token: MIIFxw...
Vary: X-Auth-Token
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 347
Date: Fri, 11 May 2018 03:41:29 GMT

{
  "token": {
      "issued_at": "2018-05-11T03:41:29.000000Z",
      "audit_ids": [
          "zS_C_KROTFeZm-VlG1LjbA",
          "RAjE82q8Rz-Cd50ogCpx3Q"
      ],
      "methods": [
