[openstack-dev] [Neutron][LBaaS] TLS support RST document on Gerrit

Hi,

I think the previous solution is easier for a user to understand. The referenced container got tampered/deleted we throw an error - but keep existing load balancers intact.

With the shadow container we get additional complexity and the user might be confused where the values are coming from.

See adams message re: Re: [openstack-dev] [Neutron][LBaaS] Barbican Neutron LBaaS Integration Ideas.
He's advocating keeping a shadow copy of the private key that is owned by the LBaaS service so that incase a key is tampered with during an LB update migration etc we can still check with the shadow backup and compare it to the user owned TLS container in case its not their it can be used.

This validation could be implemented on the LBaaS API itself as well as also by the driver who will actually need the container.
