Dave King commented on LIBCLOUD-164:
------------------------------------
(05:17:07 PM) Kami_: tildedave: I guess it would also make sense to update
OpenStack 1.0 and 1.1 NodeDriver so they also pass ex_force_auth_token to the
parent class
> OpenStack BaseConnection: Allow Passing in an Auth Token

> Key: LIBCLOUD-164

> Issue Type: New Feature

>
> 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.
