OpenStack provider authentication
Hi, I am trying to create a template, that creates OpenStack VM to user's own project/account. What's the best way to authenticate users to the OpenStack provider? Current solution was to pass the OpenStack app credentials as parameters to the template, but this is not suitable for production envionment.
I found this , but I am not sure how to use it. Can anyone help please?

hey, have you been able to sort this out?
@Phorcys nope, I think this is similiar issue to this issue
is there any chance of getting some sort of pre-script that would be able to set up credentials and that would be passed to the workspace parameters?
sorry, I think I had misunderstood your issue
are you trying to let users use OpenStack commands inside their template with their own token? or do you want the VM for the workspaces to be provisioned via the user's token?
I guess the later. They are trying to provision the workspaces by using the user's token.
yes. that was the idea
but the issue with the token is that it expires. so the idea was to use the token to create credentials and then provision the workspace
I don't think it's possible
provider blocks are loaded before coder_parameters or any other resources
or at least, that's what I figured out from trying something similar and that's also what the Terraform docs suggest
meaning you can't pass a value from a resource to a provider, so you have no way of setting it dynamically other than via Terraform's built-in functions, or the provider itself needs to support iti am aware of this, but i was wondering if there is any possibility of having some sort of an init script, that would be able to do this. the scenario would be
i am not familiar with coder codebase, so i have no idea if this is possible. rn, we create the credentials on our side and we pass them to coder, but we felt haivng it in the coder would be ideal
