Troubleshoot the Identity service

To troubleshoot the Identity service, review the logs in the /var/log/keystone/keystone.log file.

Use the /etc/keystone/logging.conf file to configure the location of log files.

Note

The insecure_debug flag is unique to the Identity service. If you enable insecure_debug, error messages from the API change to return security-sensitive information. For example, the error message on failed authentication includes information on why your authentication failed.

The logs show the components that have come in to the WSGI request, and ideally show an error that explains why an authorization request failed. If you do not see the request in the logs, run keystone with the --debug parameter. Pass the --debug parameter before the command parameters.
