You can create domains to manage users and tenants.

All VMware Integrated OpenStack deployments contain the local and Default domains.

  • The local domain includes service users and is backed by a local SQL database.
  • The Default domain contains standard OpenStack users. If you configure LDAP during VMware Integrated OpenStack installation (single domain), the Default domain is backed by LDAP and also contains LDAP users. Otherwise, the Default is backed by the local SQL database.
  • The admin user is a member of both local and Default domains.
Important: Do not disable or delete the local or Default domains.

You can create and manage additional domains as needed. For example, you can create a separate domain for federated users. To manage domains, select Identity > Domains on the VMware Integrated OpenStack dashboard.
