• Let's assume your client is named Keystone
  • Leave Root URL empty
  • Select openid-connect for Client Protocol
  • Select confidential for Access Type
  • Standard Flow Enabled, Implicit Flow Enabled and Direct Access Grants Enabled must be on
  • The *fqdn* for Valid Redirect URIs should match the value of kolla_external_fqdn. If your kolla_internal_fqdn is par1.cloud.ld, then your Valid Redirect URIs should be https://par1.cloud.ld:5000/redirect_uri. You can also add the URI of your Horizon dashboard
