+# To use an OpenStack cloud you need to authenticate against the Identity
+# service named keystone, which returns a **Token** and **Service Catalog**.
+# The catalog contains the endpoints for all services the user/tenant has
+# access to - such as Compute, Image Service, Identity, Object Storage, Block
+# Storage, and Networking (code-named nova, glance, keystone, swift,
+# cinder, and neutron).
+#
+# *NOTE*: Using the 3 *Identity API* does not necessarily mean any other
+# OpenStack API is version 3. For example, your cloud provider may implement
+# Image API v1.1, Block Storage API v2, and Compute API v2.0. OS_AUTH_URL is
+# only for the Identity API served through keystone.
+export OS_AUTH_URL=https://keystone.rc.nectar.org.au:5000/v3/
+# With the addition of Keystone we have standardized on the term **project**
+# as the entity that owns the resources.
