As per the Keystone v2.0 API docs, I've been trying to use the 'get user
by name' and 'get tenant by name' APIs to retrieve the respective
resource by name. The URI signatures are:
v2.0/users?name=string
v2.0/tenants?name=string
respectively.
However, both of these APIs are returning the full list (collection) of
users/tenants rather than the single resource specified in the 'name'
parameter.
EX:
----------------
(request)
GET http://localhost:35357/v2.0/tenants?name=DefaultTenant
(response)
{u'tenants': [{u'id': u'0e98e4ac9590428c997e3aabf18a49d4', u'enabled':
True, u'description': u'Services Tenant', u'name': u'Services'}, {u'id':
u'6f8945f2d47f4abea149b7a0176b12a8', u'enabled': True, u'description':
u'Default Tenant', u'name': u'DefaultTenant'}], u'tenants_links': []}
----------------
These APIs are documented here:
http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-identity-service/2.0/content/GET_getUserByName_v2.0_users_Admin_API_Service_Developer_Operations-d1e1356.html
http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-identity-service/2.0/content/GET_getTenantByName_v2.0_tenants_Admin_API_Service_Developer_Operations-d1e1356.html
If the 'get by name' APIs are not supported, the it might be a good idea to get them out of the docs to remove end user confusion.
