- Launchpad Entry: OpenID Authentication Service API in OpenStack Nova
- Created: Rasib Hassan Khan

Summary
Currently, the Django-Nova/Dashboard supports only basic username/password based access. There is separate user credential management both on the web service point and OpenStack. OpenStack relies on the web server for user authentication resulting in Multiple Policy Decision Points (PDP). Integration of OpenID with Openstack allows flexible SSO mechanism for administrators. The solution also removes the existing multiple identity silos in web server and OpenStack.
Release Note
Integration of OpenID SSO Authentication service for OpenStack. Includes implementations of APIs in OpenStack for OpenID Service, and incorporates extension of Django-Nova/Dashboard to use the APIs to allow administrative login into web server.
User stories
OpenID URL for administrative user is used to provide flexible SSO solution, and use OpenStack services from Dashboard.

Implementation
This section should describe a plan of action (the "how") to implement the changes discussed. Could include subsections like:
UI Changes
Should cover changes required to the UI, or specific UI that is required to implement this
Code Changes
Code changes should include an overview of what needs to change, and in some cases even the specific details.
Migration
Include:
- data migration, if any
- redirects from old URLs to new ones, if any
- how users will be pointed to the new way of doing things, if necessary.
Test/Demo Plan
This need not be added or completed until the specification is nearing beta.
Unresolved issues
This should highlight any issues that should be addressed in further specifications, and not problems with the specification itself; since any specification with problems cannot be approved.
BoF agenda and discussion
Use this section to take notes during the BoF; if you keep it in the approved spec, use it for summarising what was discussed and note any options that were rejected.
