Configuring Keystone

Identity sources

One of the most impactful decisions you'll have to make when configuring keystone is deciding how you want keystone to source your identity data. Keystone supports several different choices that will substantially impact how you'll configure, deploy, and interact with keystone.

You can also mix-and-match various sources of identity (see Domain-specific Configuration for an example). For example, you can store OpenStack service users and their passwords in SQL, manage customers in LDAP, and authenticate employees via SAML federation.
