[openstack-dev] [Keystone] State of Fernet Token deployment

We all want Fernet to be a reality. We ain't there yet (Except for
mfish who has no patience) but we are getting closer. The goal is to
get Fernet as the default token provider as soon as possible. The review
to do this has uncovered a few details that need to be fixed before we
can do this.
Trusts for V2 tokens were not working correctly. Relatively easy fix.
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/278693/ Patch is still failing on
Python 3. The tests are kindof racy due to the revocation event 1
second granularity. Some of the tests here have A sleep (1) in them
still, but all should be using the time control aspect of the unit test
fixtures.
Some of the tests also use the same user to validate a token as that
have, for example, a role unassigned. These expose a problem that the
revocation events are catching too many tokens, some of which should not
be treated as revoked.
Also, some of the logic for revocation checking has to change. Before,
if a user had two roles, and had one removed, the token would be
revoked. Now, however, the token will validate successful, but the
response will only have the single assigned role in it.
Python 3 tests are failing because the Fernet formatter is insisting
that all project-ids be valid UUIDs, but some of the old tests have
"FOO" and "BAR" as ids. These either need to be converted to UUIDS, or
the formatter needs to be more forgiving.
Caching of token validations was messing with revocation checking.
Tokens that were valid once were being reported as always valid. Thus,
the current review removes all caching on token validations, a change
we cannot maintain. Once all the test are successfully passing, we will
re-introduce the cache, and be far more aggressive about cache
invalidation.
Tempest tests are currently failing due to Devstack not properly
identifying Fernet as the default token provider, and creating the
Fernet key repository. I'm tempted to just force devstack to always
create the directory, as a user would need it if they ever switched the
token provider post launch anyway.
