Yeah, it's confusing, I know :( The best information on this particular 
subject is here:

http://keystone.openstack.org/configuringservices.html#defining-an-administrative-service-token

Basically, in Keystone, you can create a token that can be used by a 
service (for service-to-service communication, like that needed by the 
Glance API to Glance registry communication) by using the 
keystone-manage command like so:

keystone-manage token add <TOKEN_ID> <SERVICE_USER> <SERVICE_TENANT> 
<TIMESTAMP>

where <TIMESTAMP> is something like 2015-02-05T00:00

Cheers!
