Change default user id for external ceph storage?

[Sönke]

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
