+Credential Providers
+====================
+
+These library interfaces are used to deal with allocating credentials on demand
+either dynamically by calling keystone to allocate new credentials, or from
+a list of preprovisioned credentials. These 2 modules are implementations of
+the same abstract credential providers class and can be used interchangeably.
+However, each implementation has some additional parameters that are used to
+influence the behavior of the modules. The API reference at the bottom of this
+doc shows the interface definitions for both modules, however that may be a bit
+opaque. You can see some examples of how to leverage this interface below.
+
+Initialization Example
+----------------------
+This example is from Tempest itself (from tempest/common/credentials_factory.py
+just modified slightly) and is how it initializes the credential provider based
+on config::
+
+  from tempest import config
+  from tempest.lib.common import dynamic_creds
+  from tempest.lib.common import preprov_creds
+
+  CONF = config.CONF

+      # dynamic credentials. A new account will be produced only for that test.
+      # In case admin credentials are not available for the account creation,
+      # the test should be skipped else it would fail.
+      identity_version = identity_version or CONF.identity.auth_version

+
+This function just returns an initialized credential provider class based on the
+config file. The consumer of this function treats the output as the same
+regardless of whether it's a dynamic or preprovisioned provider object.
+
+Dealing with Credentials
+------------------------
+
+Once you have a credential provider object created the access patterns for
+allocating and removing credentials are the same across both the dynamic
+and preprovisioned credentials. These are defined in the abstract
+CredentialProvider class. At a high level the credentials provider enables
+you to get 3 basic types of credentials at once (per object): a primary, alt,
+and admin. You're also able to allocate a credential by role. These credentials
+are tracked by the provider object and delete must manually be called otherwise
+the created resources will not be deleted (or returned to the pool in the case
+of preprovisioned creds)
+
+Examples
+''''''''
+
+Continuing from the example above, to allocate credentials by the 3 basic types
+you can do the following::
+
+  provider = get_credentials_provider('my_tests')
+  primary_creds = provider.get_primary_creds()
+  alt_creds = provider.get_alt_creds()
+  admin_creds = provider.get_admin_creds()
+  # Make sure to delete the credentials when you're finished
+  provider.clear_creds()
+
+To create and interact with credentials by role you can do the following::
+
+  provider = get_credentials_provider('my_tests')
+  my_role_creds = provider.get_creds_by_role({'roles': ['my_role']})
+  # provider.clear_creds() will clear all creds including those allocated by
+  # role
+  provider.clear_creds()
+
+When multiple roles are specified a set of creds with all the roles assigned
+will be allocated::
+
+  provider = get_credentials_provider('my_tests')
+  my_role_creds = provider.get_creds_by_role({'roles': ['my_role',
+                                                        'my_other_role']})
+  # provider.clear_creds() will clear all creds including those allocated by
+  # role
+  provider.clear_creds()
+
+If you need multiple sets of credentials with the same roles you can also do
+this by leveraging the ``force_new`` kwarg::
+
+  provider = get_credentials_provider('my_tests')
+  my_role_creds = provider.get_creds_by_role({'roles': ['my_role']})
+  my_role_other_creds = provider.get_creds_by_role({'roles': ['my_role']},
+                                                   force_new=True)
+  # provider.clear_creds() will clear all creds including those allocated by
+  # role
+  provider.clear_creds()

+Verifies user's current tempest configuration.
+
+This command is used for updating or user's tempest configuration file based on
+api queries or replacing all option in a tempest configuration file for a full
+list of extensions.
+
+General Options
+===============
+
+-u, --update
+------------
+Update the config file with results from api queries. This assumes whatever is
+set in the config file is incorrect.
+
+-o FILE, --output=FILE
+----------------------
+Output file to write an updated config file to. This has to be a separate file
+from the original one. If one isn't specified with -u the values which should
+be changed will be printed to STDOUT.
+
+-r, --replace-ext
+-----------------
+If specified the all option will be replaced with a full list of extensions.
+
+Environment Variables
+=====================
+
+The command is workspace aware - it uses tempest config file tempest.conf
+located in ./etc/ directory.
+The path to the config file and it's name can be changed through environment
+variables.
+
+TEMPEST_CONFIG_DIR
+------------------
+Path to a directory where tempest configuration file is stored. If the variable
+is set, the default path (./etc/) is overridden.
+
+TEMPEST_CONFIG
+--------------
+Name of a tempest configuration file. If the variable is specified, the default
+name (tempest.conf) is overridden.
