 All users who are using version 1 authentication must ensure that their OpenStack Swift Clients have been reconfigured to use version 3 authentication and update all public links to cloud.sdsc.edu are updated to use object.cloud.sdsc.edu before 1/29/2021 to avoid a service interruption. 

 Migrating Migrating OpenStack Swift Clients to Version 3 Authentication

...

 Please contact your software vendor if your OpenStack Swift Client doesn’t support the OpenStack version 3 authentication protocol. Version 3 authentication was introduced in 2013 so every software vendor should support it. If your software vendor doesn’t support version 3 authentication, then you can try the AWS S3 API for OpenStack Swift. 

 Updating Updating Public Static Website Links

...

 The object.cloud.sdsc.edu URL is currently active for all SDSC Cloud projects, you do not need to do anything to enable it. 

 Why Why is this Happening?

 On August 24, 2019 the version 1 authentication system known as swauth was retired. Swauth was written using the Python 2 language, which reached its end of life on 1/1/2020 and is no longer being supported. Future versions of OpenStack Swift will require Python 3. Since SDSC wants to stay with the last version of OpenStack we must discontinue using any functions that do not support Python 3. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
