Identity Management User Interface (IDMUI)

The Identity Management User Interface (IDMUI) is a Flask-based web application designed to simplify the management of OpenStack Keystone services. It provides a centralized, user-friendly interface to handle authentication, service monitoring, and administrative operations.

Key Features

• Keystone Integration: Login system based on Keystone authentication and token validation.
• User & Role Management: Create, view, and delete users; assign roles and projects.
• Service Monitoring: Real-time status of Keystone services with start/stop/configure controls.
• Database Management: Integrated MySQL management for backend operations.
• Role-Based Access: Admins and regular users see different menus and privileges.
• Modern UI: Responsive web design with sidebar navigation, flash messaging, and mobile compatibility.
• PDF Reports: Generate structured reports of Keystone configurations and user details.
• Real-Time Messaging: Live feedback system for admin actions and notifications.

Tools & Technologies

• Backend: Python (Flask Framework)
• Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, JavaScript
• APIs: OpenStack Keystone API
• Database: MySQL
• Other: Apache2, Paramiko (for SSH), ReportLab (for PDF generation)

Outcome

The IDMUI project successfully provided:

• A centralized platform for managing Keystone services.
• Simplified user administration with clear role and project assignments.
• Improved efficiency through automation of service and database tasks.
• Enhanced accessibility via a modern, mobile-friendly web interface.

This system is designed to bridge the gap between technical complexity of OpenStack Keystone and the ease-of-use expected by administrators and users, making identity management more efficient and secure.
