title: 'Check-Neutron-04: Is secure protocol used for authentication?'

description: |-
    OpenStack components communicate with each other using various protocols and the communication might involve sensitive / confidential data. An attacker may try to eavesdrop on the channel in order to get access to sensitive information. Thus all the components must communicate with each other using a secured communication protocol.

    <br />
    <br />
    Pass: If value of parameter auth_protocol under [keystone_authtoken] section in /etc/neutron/neutron.conf is set to https, or if value of parameter identity_uri under [keystone_authtoken] section in /etc/neutron/neutron.conf is set to Identity API endpoint starting with https://.

    <br />
    <br />
    Fail: If value of parameter auth_protocol under [keystone_authtoken] section in /etc/neutron/neutron.conf is set to http`, or if value of parameter identity_uri under [keystone_authtoken] section in /etc/neutron/neutron.conf is not set to Identity API endpoint starting with https://.
