Summary

Currently, the AuthManager simply utilizes the database to store all authn/authz information. We want Nova users to be able to choose an authentication & authorization system that works best for them. Right now, we are only planning on adding support for Keystone.

Code Changes

This approach will help minimize code changes across the project. We need to refactor AuthManager in Nova to support pluggable drivers, similar to our virtualization drivers.

Migration

We plan to design a set of scripts that will assist in data migrations between local and Keystone drivers.
