Now that most of the operator docs are consolidated into the admin guide, it is huge and hard to find things. This patch breaks the guide into groups to make it a little easier to navigate: 1. Getting started: basics of keystone and initializing a deployment. 2. Configuration: not a replacement for the main config docs but a grouping of all discussions on the various config options. 3. Operations: maintenance workflows like upgrading and cleanups 4. Tokens: an important part of keystone 5. RBAC: gets a section to itself 6. Advanced keystone features: grouping of lesser-known/lesser-used, not-required features. 7. Authentication mechanisms: various auth methods besides password, including the federation guide Change-Id: I9039b7023d843349154d28ee0ee2c7b9a9eb97ab

Keystone, the OpenStack Identity Service
Keystone is an OpenStack service that provides API client authentication, service discovery, and distributed multi-tenant authorization by implementing OpenStack's Identity API.
This documentation is useful for contributors looking to get involved in our community, developers writing applications on top of OpenStack, and operators administering their own OpenStack deployments.
This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in
the source
tree. Also see the getting-started/community page for other ways to
interact with the community.
Related Projects
In addition to creating OpenStack's Identity Service, the Keystone team also provides a WSGI middleware, an Authentication library and a Python client library.
