Unfortunately, this is not yet in Oslo so there would be multiple packages to be enhanced. I totally agree. We need a common pluggable authentication mechanism for the clients (since Keystone supports it, the clients should support it). I improved the simple system that was in novaclient [1], but it should be moved to keystone client. There was some movement to port this to [2] but the change was abandoned in favour of a more complex solutions: one that never came in (oslo [3]) and another from Jamie Lennox in [4] that is still a WIP.
