Public bug reported:

I am not sure if this constitutes the tag 'bug'. However it has lead us
to some confusion and I feel it should be updated.

This option in neutron metadata configuration (and install docs) is
misleading.

{{{
# IP address used by Nova metadata server. (string value)
#nova_metadata_ip = 127.0.0.1
}}}

It implies the need to present an IP address for the nova metadata api.
Where as in actual fact this can be a hostname or IP address.

When using TLS encrypted sessions, this 'has' to be a hostname, else
this ends in a SSL issue, as the hostname is embedded in the
certificates.

I am seeing this issue with OpenStack Liberty, however it appears to be
in the configuration reference for Mitaka too, so I guess this is
accross the board.

If this needs to be listed in a different forum, please let me know!

Thanks
