Project codename: Keystone
Summary (one sentence abstract of the project): OpenStack Identity Service with pluggable AuthN+Z backend and protocols.
Detailed Description: Keystone is an Identity service that integrates the following: 1. Identity stores (database, LDAP, Active Directory, text file, PAM, etc...) 2. Protocols for Authentication, authorization, federation, and delegation (such as OATH, OpenID, Basic Auth, Token Auth, SAML, etc...) 3. Middleware that can be plugged in to services to provide Identity and AuthN+Z services.
What is the purpose of the project and vision for it?
Identity is a core concern for any operating system. OpenStack, as a cloud operating system, must address this. Interoperability is also key, which therefore drives the architecture of Keystone (pluggable).
