In Python 2.x those do not perform CA checks so client connections are vulnerable to MiM attacks. """ The following files use httplib.HTTPSConnection : keystone/middleware/s3_token.py keystone/middleware/ec2_token.py keystone/common/bufferedhttp.py vendor/python-keystoneclient-master/keystoneclient/middleware/auth_token.py AFAICT HTTPSConnection does not validate server certificates and should be avoided. This is fixed in Python 3, however in 2.X no validation occurs. I suspect this is also applicable to most OpenStack modules that make HTTPS client calls.
