To use openstack cli you need to switch it to using v3 API. Do this: cp openrc openrc.v3 edit openrc.v3 and add there this line: export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 change OS_AUTH_URL to point to v3. Create an identity provider openstack identity provider create idp_1 # idp_1 is an id. Use any you like. I like idp_1
