The purpose of this spec is to define a standard for authentication in [[OpenStack]] that enables services to support multiple authentication protocols in a pluggable manner. By providing support for authentication via pluggable authentication components, this standard allows [[OpenStack]] services to be integrated easily into existing deployment environments. It also provides a path by which to implement support for emerging authentication standards such as OpenID. The standard is not an authentication system onto itself, but rather a protocol by which authentication systems may be integrated with [[OpenStack]] services. | The purpose of this spec is to define a standard for authentication in [[OpenStack]] that enables services to support multiple authentication protocols in a pluggable manner.

Summary
The purpose of this spec is to define a standard for authentication in OpenStack that enables services to support multiple authentication protocols in a pluggable manner. By providing support for authentication via pluggable authentication components, this standard allows OpenStack services to be integrated easily into existing deployment environments. It also provides a path by which to implement support for emerging authentication standards such as OpenID. The standard is not an authentication system onto itself, but rather a protocol by which authentication systems may be integrated with OpenStack services.
We will update the wiki in the next few days with the full specs. However, for the time being, you can download the current draft here. Also, you can download the reference implementation here.
