[Bug 1403686] [NEW] Allow using auth plugins to talk to nova

 

Public bug reported:

When neutron communicates with nova it authenticates using the options:

# URL for connection to nova (Only supports one nova region currently).
# nova_url = http://127.0.0.1:8774/v2

# Name of nova region to use. Useful if keystone manages more than one region
# nova_region_name =

# Username for connection to nova in admin context
# nova_admin_username =

# The uuid of the admin nova tenant
# nova_admin_tenant_id =

# The name of the admin nova tenant. If the uuid of the admin nova tenant
# is set, this is optional.  Useful for cases where the uuid of the admin
# nova tenant is not available when configuration is being done.
# nova_admin_tenant_name =

# Password for connection to nova in admin context.
# nova_admin_password =

# Authorization URL for connection to nova in admin context.
# nova_admin_auth_url =


This is restricted to only keystone v2 auth and means it can only be used with user and password authentication. 

Keystoneclient provides a generic way to handle loading authentication
from a config file that will support abritrary future authentication
mechanisms. Neutron should use that.
