      <div dir="ltr">Thanks Lance for a comprehensive summary.
        <div>However I'm bit puzzled with application credentials spec,
          specifically with the sentence 'This model, while convenient

        <div>increases the risk of account compromise by requiring the
          distribution of unencrypted passwords.'</div>
        <div>My personal preference for securing OS cloud credentials is
          to leverage X.509/PKI rather than username and password.</div>
        <div>X.509 authN plugin is available since some time ago [4] and
          I'd really appreciate if Keystone team could explain how app
          credentials will interact with existing (e.g. x.509) authN
          plugin in federated scenario. How role assignment derived from
          federation mapping (and x.509 certificate) is going to
          interact with application credentials?</div>
        <div>
          <div>This is important for me since I received a lot of
            complains about clear text passwords and typically my
            recommendation is to mitigate it with said x.509 approach.</div>

    As far as the application credentials implementation goes, there
    will still be an ID and a secret that needs to be used when
    authenticating. So if you have requirements around plaintext
    passwords in service configuration files, you might still have that
    concern with application credentials since the secret is essentially
    the password.<br>
    <br>
    We have had a few sessions with oslo [0] about the storage of
    passwords in configuration files that might be relevant to you
    though (if I'm understanding correctly).<br>
