Hi

I use knife-openstack plugin ([GitHub - chef/knife-openstack: Chef Infra knife plug-in for OpenStack](https://github.com/opscode/knife-openstack))  
on Nectar Research Clould and the configuration of my knife.rb is shown  
below:

knife[:openstack\_username] = "username@uws.edu.au"  
knife[:openstack\_password] = "password"

### Note: If you are not proxying HTTPS to the OpenStack auth port, the

scheme should be HTTP  
knife[:openstack\_auth\_url] = "  
[https://keystone.rc.nectar.org.au:5000/v2.0/tokens](https://keystone.rc.nectar.org.au:5000/v2.0/tokens)"  
knife[:openstack\_tenant] = "pt-2739"

I got a fatal error when the following is excuted  
abolap@abolap-desktop:~/chef-repo$ knife openstack flavor list  
FATAL: Connection failure, please check your OpenStack username and  
password.

Is there anything I am missing in knife.rb?

Please assist

These are the output I got when the requested commands are executed:

abolap@abolap-desktop:~/chef-repo$ gem list fog

\*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\*

fog (1.15.0)  
abolap@abolap-desktop:~/chef-repo$ gem list knife-openstack

knife-openstack (0.8.1)  
abolap@abolap-desktop:~/chef-repo$ knife openstack flavor list -V  
FATAL: Connection failure, please check your OpenStack username and  
password.

Any idea of what the issue is?
