Important note regarding the use of Application Credentials or EC2 credentials

Since Application Credentials and EC2 credentials are always linked to an OpenStack project and a user, it is recommended to use the OpenStack project user when these types of credentials are created and used.

The problem with using Application Credentials or EC2 credentials together with an NWS ID is that the credentials are only valid as long as the NWS ID session in OpenStack is active. However, an NWS ID session in OpenStack expires after one hour. To work around this, you could log in to OpenStack again before the session expires. This is not a practical solution. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to use the OpenStack project user instead.
