OpenStack Keystone Update User’s Password – Havana Thanks to this source which helped me out with Openstack keystone documentation issue. Source:  http://blog.autodevbot.com/2014/04/15/openstack-keystone-update-users-password-havana/comment-page-1/#comment-59 It took me a while to figure out how to update a user’s password via the API in Keystone.  All of the documentation seems to be incorrect.  I finally had to take a packet trace of the keystone CLI performing a password update and looking at that before I got the correct API endpoint and what to send to the server.  It turns out to be a PUT request and not like most of their documentation saying it is is a POST request.  Which would make sense since PUT is for updating. Here is the cURL command: curl -X PUT \ -H “X-Auth-Token: ” \ -H “Content-type: application/json” \ -d ‘{“user”: {“password”: “new_password”, “id”: “ “}}’\ http://localhost:35357/v2.0/users/ /OS-KSADM/password

What is the optimum way to find the middle node in a single linked list using C? There are two ways Method 1 1- Iterate through the link list to find the number of nodes in it (say n) 2- Start from the root of the list and travel as far as n/2 The other method is a bit tricky Method 2 1- Start with two pointers both pointing to root 2- Now make one traverse the link list one node at a time 3- Make the other traverse the link list 2 nodes at a time At the time, the 2nd pointer reaches the end, the 1st pointer would only have reached the mid The 1st method is optimized for memory and the 2nd one for concurrent traversal and speed
