By default the openstack-dashboard cookbook ships with a self-signed certificate from a fake organization. It is possible to use a real production certificate from your organization by putting that certificate somewhere where the cookbook can download it from then simply passing in the URL of the certificate, and its corresponding key, using the 'cert_url' and 'key_url' attributes.

Testing

Please refer to the TESTING.md for instructions for testing the cookbook.

Berkshelf

Berks will resolve version requirements and dependencies on first run and store these in Berksfile.lock. If new cookbooks become available you can run berks update to update the references in Berksfile.lock. Berksfile.lock will be included in stable branches to provide a known good set of dependencies. Berksfile.lock will not be included in development branches to encourage development against the latest cookbooks.
