OpenStack BaseConnection: Allow Passing in an Auth Token
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: LIBCLOUD-164
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-164
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core
Reporter: Dave King
Priority: Minor
Currently if you use Libcloud naively inside a web application, it will re-auth
on each individual request that as user makes through the browser.
It would be beneficial to allow OpenStack connection classes to be instantiated
with an argument that allows them to use an existing authentication token.
Because the authentication process determines the base URL (by extracting the
service catalog and individual service tenantIDs), specifying the
authentication token (and so skipping authentication) on creating the driver
should also require specifying the base URL.
