When the [service_user] section is configured in nova.conf, nova will have the ability to send a service user token alongside the user's token. The service user token is sent when nova calls other services' REST APIs to authenticate as a service, and service calls can sometimes have elevated privileges. Currently, nova does not however have the ability to send a service user token with an admin context. This means that when nova makes REST API calls to other services with an anonymous admin RequestContext (such as in nova-manage or periodic tasks), it will not be authenticated as a service. This adds a keyword argument to service_auth.get_auth_plugin() to enable callers to provide a user_auth object instead of attempting to extract the user_auth from the RequestContext. The cinder and neutron client modules are also adjusted to make use of the new user_auth keyword argument so that nova calls made with anonymous admin request contexts can authenticate as a service when configured.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
