Roger Luethi 0a8d855764 Fix reverted osc-lib interface change
The patch https://review.opendev.org/#/c/673389/ introduced a regression
by changing the osc-lib interface.

Two conflicting attempts to fix the regression were launched:

1) Reverting the patch.

2) The patch https://review.opendev.org/683119 changes the exception
   from the generic CommandError back to a specific Forbidden exception.

   The patch https://review.opendev.org/683118 catches this exception
   and passes on, i.e. re-implements the same behavior as before.

The first idea was implemented, the initial patch reverted. The second
idea was partially implemented. The change in python-openstackclient
(683118) was merged. The change in osc-lib was approved but failed to
merge because the initial change had been reverted.

Now we have again a situation where the exception produced in osc-lib
does not match the exception expected by the caller.

It is unclear if the osc-lib interface will ever get a rebased version
of https://review.opendev.org/683119 merged, so the safest way to
address the issue is to also catch the exception that used to be
thrown before the inital change and is again thrown after the inital
change has been reverted.

OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings
the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Network, Object Store and Block
Storage APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.

The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common
language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
===============

OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip::

    pip install python-openstackclient

There are a few variants on getting help.  A list of global options and supported
commands is shown with ``--help``::

   openstack --help

There is also a ``help`` command that can be used to get help text for a specific
command::

    openstack help
    openstack help server create

If you want to make changes to the OpenStackClient for testing and contribution,
make any changes and then run::

    python setup.py develop

or::

    pip install -e .

Configuration
=============

The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line
options as listed in  https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/cli/authentication.html.

Authentication using username/password is most commonly used::

   export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
   export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
   export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
   export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=<project-domain-name>
   export OS_USERNAME=<username>
   export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=<user-domain-name>
   export OS_PASSWORD=<password>  # (optional)

The corresponding command-line options look very similar::

   --os-auth-url <url>
   --os-identity-api-version 3
   --os-project-name <project-name>
   --os-project-domain-name <project-domain-name>
   --os-username <username>
   --os-user-domain-name <user-domain-name>
   [--os-password <password>]

If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively
prompted to provide one securely.
