Public bug reported:

Hi there,

I am working on a rails app which provides some functionality on top of
OpenStack and I want to use keystone for authentication as I don't like
to have user information in multiple places. Now, the problem is that I
can not store more information about user other than id, name,
domain_id, password, enabled, and default_project_id*. I was wondering
if you be interested in having implamentation of a key-value pair for
user to store extra information. If yes, I would like to work on it.

It can be really helpful for projects like ours to avoid storing user
information in multiple places. In the simplest scenario, extra
information can be stored as a json (or yaml or whatever) in a text
column. Or to keep it more SQL-ish, it can be implemented with entity-
attribute-value pattern.
