Thanks a lot John for your response.
But would like to know why do would we have to fix the issue for creating
the secret for unauthenticated context for Barbican since it would be good
to have access control mechanism  enforced to access secrets , orders and
other entities from Barbican.

This should be the expected behavior from security perspective .And also we
are able to access secrets by providing the right token from the Identity
service (Keystone ).
Looking forward for your response.

Thanks and Regards,
Asha Seshagiri
