Change default user id for external ceph storage?

Promox is connecting to our external ceph cluster using an unprivileged cephx user id. This works well for rbd storage using the well known keyring semantics under /etc/pve/priv/ceph.

However, using command line tools like "pveceph status" or the Ceph tab on the webinterface fails. Proxmox' default user id for these ceph operations seems to be set to "client.admin" - is there any way to change this (despite patching /usr/share/perl5/PVE/RADOS.pm by hand)?

Thanks,
Sönke
 
the pveceph tools and the webinterface is not intended to be used with an external cluster, only for pve managed ceph clusters.
but you could open a feature request here: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/
no promises if this will get implemented though
