Is it necessary to create a token each time you do things in OpenStack?

[dantart]

This is my code to, for example, list objects in a storage:

// Get Token
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client(['base_uri' => 'https://auth.cloud.ovh.net/v3/']);
$token = new \OpenStack\Identity\v3\Models\Token($client, new \OpenStack\Identity\v3\Api());
$token->create([ 'user' => [ 'name' => $userId, 'domain' => [ 'name' => 'Default' ], 'password' => $password ] ]);
$mytoken = $token->export();

// Get Storage info
$openstack = new \OpenStack\OpenStack([
    'authUrl' => $authUrl,
    'region'  => $region,
    'user'    => [ 'name'       => $userId, 'password' => $password, 'domain' => [ 'name' => 'Default' ] ],
    'scope'   => [
        'project' => [ 'id' => $projectId, 'domain' => [ 'name' => 'Default' ] ]
    ],
    'cachedToken' => $mytoken,
]);
$container = $openstack->objectStoreV1() ->getContainer($containerName);

If I don't use the "cachedToken" in the command, got from previously "get token" section, it does not work, although I use credentials (user, password...). Do I have to use "cachedToken" attribute always?

The error without using the cachedToken is:

HTTP Error
~~~~~~~~~~
The remote server returned a "401 Unauthorized" error for the following transaction:

Request
~~~~~~~
POST /v1/AUTH_********************************/auth/tokens HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: GuzzleHttp/7
Content-Type: application/json
Host: storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net

I've seen it has an expiration of 24 hours ... I know I can "save" it to a file and use it at least 24 hours ... the question is, is there a way to use, for example, the objectStoreV1 method, without using token and using the real credentials (user, password should be enough, right?)

Thank you

You cannot use credential (username and password) directly. This model is imposed by Identity for security reason. HP

Then why in all documentation examples is not the cachedToken parameter?
https://php-openstack-sdk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/services/object-store/v1/objects.html#create-an-object
I spent a lot of time figuring out how to use it :-(

1. Either cachedToken or credentials should be used, not both at the same time. When supplying user and password, the sdk exchange for a token which adds a small overhead. 2. CachedToken enables a very specified use case and comes with caveats eg managing life cycle of token. General usage, therefore, dont have to use cachedToken

Well, that's my point !
I want to use CREDENTIALS, and just credentials. Your point 1 ;-)

If I use the command with credentials and without the cachedToken , it does not work:

// Get Storage info
$openstack = new \OpenStack\OpenStack([
    'authUrl' => $authUrl,
    'region'  => $region,
    'user'    => [ 'name'       => $userId, 'password' => $password, 'domain' => [ 'name' => 'Default' ] ],
    'scope'   => [
        'project' => [ 'id' => $projectId, 'domain' => [ 'name' => 'Default' ] ]
    ],
]);
$container = $openstack->objectStoreV1() ->getContainer($containerName);

The error is shown above, the error without using the cachedToken is:

Same issue. @dantart did you resolve? I can comment out the user field in $openstack object, but $token is required
