1) Nobody says it is easy. I keep my fingers crossed for this feature.

2) Exactly. I have pointed out this ticket. When do you think it will be available and in which version?

3) Unfortunately, I have not found any document where setting authentication other than IP based is described. I would like to set it through openstack and by hand. Is it possible?

5) Of course it is great that most features do not require any specific OpenStack integration. I just wanted to describe those that need it. It mostly shows what needs to be done in Openstack.

(2) It'll automatically be in 3.5 approximately the end of this year. It will probably also be backported into the next 3.4.x, but I can't comment on schedules either for that or for the "downstream" Red Hat Storage releases.

(3) I don't know of any such instructions off the top of my head. Basically you'll have to edit /etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol and add by hand the same auth options that are available for volumes via the CLI. I think there are (possibly hidden) CLI options that you'd need to specify username/password to work with that. If you try it and things aren't seeming fairly obvious, feel free to ping me via email (jdarcy@myemployer.com) or Freenode IRC.

(3) I would definitely like to avoid modifying files by hand. I knew about this method but it just does not work for me. I am automatically creating many volumes with cli and modifying them in configuration file is not convenient. I guess it is also not possible for cinder devs to implement it reasonably well.

You're opposed to manipulating config files by hand, but you recommend Ceph over GlusterFS? Interesting.

Well, I am not opposed to manipulating files by hand. I just dont want to do that when I have CLI for everything else. Keeping the content of the file the same on all servers is more toilsome than simple command. Of course there are tools like chef but that is not the point.
