Open Stack

Sergey,

Great news! Thanks for the update on OpenID.

Our other question is around the workflow for the Authorization tokens. 
It seems like you're bypassing oAuth2 on OpenStackID in order to manage 
the authorization on the refstack client. Why not utilize OpenStackID 
for both openid and oAuth2? Basically create the authorization tokens on 
the OpenStackID side and create your own resources server as gatekeeper 
of you API and validate oauth2 tokens against introspection endpoint 
(http://ci.openstack.org/openstackid/oauth2.html#token-introspection).

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jimmy
