The short of it is that we use a non-standard web authentication 
mechanism.  If a user gets a token from Keysteon, they can pass it to a 
web app in a custome header.  Horizon actually acts as a front end to 
Keystone.

If your code is in Python and WSGI, you cant use the auth_token 
middleware from the Keystone client.
