[Fiware-lab-recovery-tf] question from arian

hi,
if we go for just local accounts, we break the concept of FIWARE ecosystem
and single point of entry. so, from side that's not the way to go. keep
into account that oauth delegation or saml federation WILL enable the
commercial usage (each node, beyond the federated users - may have its
local users and tools).

I am more in favour of a solution that support both modalities (that could
be based on oauth delegation or saml federation, I don't really care).
FIWARE Ops chapter may work on this aspects for the keystone side (we can
consider this indeed a "operation" issue), but I am afraid this will not be
enough since also portal and other "global" services may be affected and
this will require work from Cloud chapter guys.

currently there is a SAML federation work in the OpenStack community. but
we need to investigate how this align with current oauth based keystone.

i will be out for three weeks, so i would not be able to kick off such
action before end of june. anyhow, alessandro is the chapter leader (and
architect) so he can coordinate this discussion with the cloud chapter.

best,
federico
