Title:
  keystone ADMIN_TOKEN set by default can lead to default insecure
  deployment

Status in OpenStack Identity (keystone):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Security Notes:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Keystone configuration sets the ADMIN_TOKEN option to "ADMIN" by
  default, which means that unless the deployment specifically changes
  this value to a secure value, the filter "admin_auth_token" will
  accept the value of "ADMIN" as an all-access administrative token for
  the openstack deployment (when interacting with keystone).

  https://github.com/openstack/keystone/blob/406fbfaa2689255fb54cf1eb07403f392c735c53/keystone/common/config.py#L49-L56

  The fix will be to make this value "None" by default, and if the
  option is unset, the "admin_token_auth" filter will simply pass,
  continuing to allow normal credentials to work.

  This is a CLASS B1 (my assessment) https://security.openstack.org/vmt-
  process.html#incident-report-taxonomy

  This bug was opened so we can issue an OSSA/OSSN with the fix.
