dear juanjo,
my 2 cents on arian's question:

The problem mentioned by arian is not solved, since idm/keystone is a
single central service not high available in multiple locations beyond
spain (such as the portal) - which does not reflect openstack usual
architecture deployment for multi-region openstack. The default
architecture for multi region keystone could not be applied since it
requires to host user data outside spain.

CREATE-NET proposed a solution (which was having a single keystone per
node) using delegation to authenticate users using oauth2 from the "main"
keystone, the advantages of such solution would have been:
   a - nodes don't fail when central keystone is not available.
   b - nodes can support both local users and FIWARE Lab users making
"entering in the game" for without funding much cheaper

the solution would require anyhow:
   - requires some changes in portal
   - requires some changes in blueprint engine

thus basically - eventhough developed and partially tested - it was not
moved ahead.

alternative solutions may be based on saml, but i have the feeling this
will get more complex for the portal and blueprints.

best,
federico
