To define service deployment parameters

After you have created the service definition you are ready to define service deployment parameters for the OpenStack Provider.

As a cloud administrator, you need to define the following service deployment parameters so that they are applicable on the deployment packages during multi-tier VM provisioning.

Service Deployment Parameter	Example	Description
BmcSecurityGroups		Enables an OpenStack instance to be placed within a security group (firewall). This security group allows RSCD agent traffic through port 4750 and remote access through an SSH or an RDP port. All comma-separated values should match the security group IDs that you specified in the Access & Security Console of the OpenStack eCloud. The data type is string. If you select the Enabled option, BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management end users can control firewall policies for a server.
UNIX_USER		Enables user provisioning. The value name must exactly match the key user name you specified in BMC BladeLogic Server Automation. The data type is string.
UNIX_USER_PASSWORD		Enables user provisioning. The value name must exactly match the corresponding password name for the key user name you specified in BMC BladeLogic Server Automation. The data type is string.
