It might be possible to work around this.

I have not tested yet, but it might be possible to deploy a file with 
both the old an new certs in it to verify the tokens.

It would be fairly manual, but the process should be something like this:

1.  Generate a new certificate key and certificate on the keystone 
machine, but not overwriting the existing /etc/keystone/ssl directory
2.  Append the new certificate to the old certificate
3.  Replace the certificates in the remote services (one at a time) with 
the "dual certificate" file and   confirm that everything still works.
4.  Replace the key and signing file in the Keystone server with the new one

I'll run a quick test to see if the dual cert thing works
