[Openstack] Renewing keystone signing certs

OK this is looking really scary, (unless I’m missing something…..)

In havana and icehouse, services will only download the signing cert if it doesn’t exist. So if you replace it on the keystone server it will continue to use the existing cert.

Ideally you should be able to push out both the current and the new signing cert to all hosts. Then replace the signing cert in keystone that way old and new tokens will work with no downtime

I’m starting to think with the current way keystone does this it’s going to mean a cloud wide outage to replace the signing certs?
