Open Stack

There isn't a plan, but an acknowledgement that we'll have to go there. Right now we're trying to avoid authorization as much as possible because of the complexity involved and the distraction it would be from the initial goal; providing one, common authentication service for OpenStack core services.

Subject: RE: OpenStack Identity: Keystone API Proposal

Is there a plan to also have Keystone be the centralizing framework around authorization?   Right now it looks like policy enforcement is left to the API layer.

Thanks,

Jason

Subject: [Openstack] OpenStack Identity: Keystone API Proposal

Time flies! It's June 10th already. In my last email to this community I had proposed today as the day to lock down the Keystone API so we can finalize implementation by Diablo-D2 (June 30th).

We've been working on this feverishly over the past couple of weeks and have just pushed out a proposed API here: https://github.com/rackspace/keystone/raw/master/keystone/content/identitydevguide.pdf

For any and all interested, the original source and code is on Github (https://github.com/rackspace/keystone<https://github.com/rackspace/keystone/raw/master/keystone/content/identitydevguide.pdf>), along with the current implementation of Keystone, examples, sample data, tests, instructions, and all the goodies we could muster to put together. The project also lives on Launchpad at http://launchpad.net/keystone.

The API we just put out there is still a proposal. We're going to be focusing on the implementation, but would still love to get community input, feedback, and participation.

Have a great weekend and regards to all,

Ziad
