URLs for access to HCP

With the HSwift API, the endpoint is a tenant. Every request you make to access HCP using HSwift is made within the context of a tenant.

The URL in a request identifies the target of the request. This target can be the tenant, a container within the tenant, or an object within a container within the tenant. The format you use for a URL depends on the target of the request and the authentication method being used.

An HCP system can have multiple tenants and, therefore, multiple endpoints. Each tenant has its own default configuration settings for new containers. Containers, therefore, can have different characteristics depending on the tenants within which you create them.

When accessing a tenant that requires you to be an authenticated user, you need to provide Keystone authenticated credentials or HCP user credentials. for more information of Keystone credentials see, Using a Keystone Authentication Token. For more information of HCP user credentials, see Using Local Authentication.
