Make sure you are logged into horizon and download the rc file (right corner). After that do source admin-openrc.sh

Note that you have to download the rc file of the project you are working on

This should do. keystonerc_admin file is generated at the end of openstack packstack installation

source keystonerc_admin

always run admin-openrc file before running any openstack command eg.

$source admin-openrc

then run whatever openstack command you want to run

eg.

$openstack --debug server list

Take rocky version of OpenStack Keystone as an example.

You can create an admin-openrc.sh (If you are installing OpenStack Keystone for the first time.) and put environment params. And source this file before you run any "openstack" command. This resolves the issue.

I put the admin-openrc.sh in directory /usr/share/keystone/admin-openrc.sh for a recommend.
