Log-in to the Rapid Access Cloud dashboard at https://cloud.cybera.ca.
In the left-hand panel under “Compute”, click “Access & Security”.
Click the “API Access” tab at the top then click the “Download Openstack RC file v3” on the right.
The file downloaded will be named after your account name, e.g. <email>@<domain>-openrc.sh. This can be renamed to openrc if you like, or you can copy it and modify it so you can have one for the Calgary region and one for the Edmonton region. The rc file downloaded will be keyed for the region you are signed into in the dashboard.
