Ok. I can deal with handling tens of thousands of tokens, but I need
some way to ensure a user doesn't need to continuously authenticate
when changing between projects. I'm totally fine saving a long-lived
token that can be used for authentication, then re-authenticating with
that token to receive other project tokens. This way the web interface can use
the long-lived token on the user's behalf for authentication between projects.

I'm using the LDAP backend. I'm assuming I'm going to have to modify
the authenticate method to handle this. Would doing this be enough to
make this work, or will I need to patch more extensively for this solution?

I definitely want to solve this legitimately for folsom or grizzly as
this completely breaks my use case (and likely the use case of most
private cloud users).

I can likely live with adding/removing admins from groups. I'd prefer
not to, but we require this to some extent right now anyway. I'd
definitely like to resolve this by grizzly at least, though.
