2 Authentication
3================
4
5Swift API requests that require authentication must contain an
6``X-Storage-Token`` authentication token in the request header.
7The token may be retrieved from RADOS Gateway, or from another authenticator.
8To obtain a token from RADOS Gateway, you must create a user. For example::
9
10 sudo radosgw-admin user create --subuser="{username}:{subusername}" --uid="{username}"
11 --display-name="{Display Name}" --key-type=swift --secret="{password}" --access=full
12
13For details on RADOS Gateway administration, see `radosgw-admin`_.

17.. note::
18 For those used to the Swift API this is implementing the Swift auth v1.0 API, as such
19 `{username}` above is generally equivalent to a Swift `account` and `{subusername}`
20 is a user under that account.
