[sfuml]

Terraform Version

Terraform v1.0.3
on linux_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/opentelekomcloud/opentelekomcloud v1.24.6

Terraform Configuration Files

All secrets are removed, but it does not matter whether real or dummy values are used. The initialization crashes in both cases with the same message.

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 0.13"
  required_providers {
    opentelekomcloud = {
      source = "opentelekomcloud/opentelekomcloud"
    }
  }
}

provider "opentelekomcloud" {
  access_key  = "<ACCESS KEY>"
  secret_key  = "<SECRET KEY>"
  domain_name = "<DOMAIN NAME>"
  tenant_name = "<TENANT NAME>"
  auth_url    = "https://iam.eu-de.otc.t-systems.com/v3"
}

terraform {
  backend "swift" {
    auth_url       = "https://swift.eu-de.otc.t-systems.com/v1"
    container      = "swift-test-terraform-state"
    user_name      = "<my_user_name<"
    password       = "<my_password>"
    user_domain_id = "<my_user_domain_id>"    
    swauth         = true
  }
}

Hello! Thanks for reporting this.

We removed the Swift backend in Terraform v1.3 because it hasn't had a dedicated maintainer for a few versions now and so it was becoming problematic to keep working in newer Terraform versions. Since that backend is no longer present in the Terraform codebase, I'm going to close this issue.

If you're currently using this backend with an older version of Terraform, see Removal of Deprecated State Storage Backends in the Terraform v1.3 upgrade guide for some information on the available options for migration.

Thanks again!
