Identity

Identity service (keystone) provides identity, token, catalog, and policy services for use specifically by services in the OpenStack family. Identity service is organized as a group of internal services exposed on one or many endpoints. Many of these services are used in a combined fashion by the frontend, for example an authenticate call will validate user/project credentials with the identity service and, upon success, create and return a token with the token service. Further information can be found by reading the Keystone Developer Documentation.
