would you like to find starter docs and articles?</a></h3>

target="_blank">Proposal for OpenStack Identity API v3</a></h3>
<p>Have your say about a broad CRUD based API supporting
authentication and authorization needs in OpenStack.
Back-end implementations of Keystone may not support all
components of the API, hence an API return may be
NotImplemented. This is to support Keystone as a
programmatic facade to an deployment’s existing
authentication and authorization system(s).</p>
