Openstack Swift with swauth, getting "Account creation failed: 500 Server Error" when adding account

During testing of Swift with swauth, I was trying to add account to swauth database with swauth-add-account but it was failed out with "Account creation failed: 500 Server Error"

root@proxy:~# swauth-add-account -A https://1.2.3.4:8080/auth -K swauthkey testgp
Account creation failed: 500 Server Error


With further checking, it looks like "allow_account_management = true" have to be added under [app:proxy-server] tag of proxy-server.conf like this.






[app:proxy-server]
use = egg:swift#proxy
allow_account_management = true
account_autocreate = true
Once above line is added to configuration file, followed by proxy restart and that should fix the problem.

root@proxy:~s3-curl# swauth-add-account -A https://1.2.3.4:8080/auth -K swauthkey testgp
root@proxy:~s3-curl# swauth-list -A https://1.2.3.4:8080/auth -K swauthkey
{"accounts": [{"name": "system"}, {"name": "testgp"}]}
