3. Complete the rest of the configuration in `manila.conf`:

   - In the `[DEFAULT]` section, configure `RabbitMQ` message queue access:

         [DEFAULT]
         ...
         transport_url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller

     Replace `RABBIT_PASS` with the password you chose for the `openstack` account in `RabbitMQ`.

   - In the `[DEFAULT]` section, set the following config values:

         [DEFAULT]
         ...
         default_share_type = default_share_type
         share_name_template = share-%s
         rootwrap_config = /etc/manila/rootwrap.conf
         api_paste_config = /etc/manila/api-paste.ini

     Important

     The `default_share_type` option specifies the default share type to be used when shares are created without specifying the share type in the request. The default share type that is specified in the configuration file has to be created with the necessary required extra-specs (such as `driver_handles_share_servers`) set appropriately with reference to the driver mode used. This is further explained in the section discussing the setup and configuration of the share node.

   - In the `[DEFAULT]` and `[keystone_authtoken]` sections, configure Identity service access:

         [DEFAULT]
         ...
         auth_strategy = keystone

         [keystone_authtoken]
         ...
         memcached_servers = controller:11211
         www_authenticate_uri = http://controller:5000
         auth_url = http://controller:5000
         auth_type = password
         project_domain_name = Default
         user_domain_name = Default
         project_name = service
         username = manila
         password = MANILA_PASS

     Replace `MANILA_PASS` with the password you chose for the `manila` user in the Identity service.

   - In the `[DEFAULT]` section, configure the `my_ip` option to use the management interface IP address of the controller node:

         [DEFAULT]
         ...
         my_ip = 10.0.0.11

   - In the `[oslo_concurrency]` section, configure the lock path:

         [oslo_concurrency]
         ...
         lock_path = /var/lock/manila
