Hi Alex,

Thank you for your response.

The normal functionality is the following, when I receive a token from the user in order to process some operation. I need to validate this token sending a message to the Keystone service. This request needs its own security token, different from the token received from the users.

The problem is that we (I) was working internally with a permanent token from the keystone in order to request those validations, but I have not the permanent administration token from your keystone node.

I hope that you understand now.

PD: We of course was the SM, I used it due to I was thinking about my team :-P

Can you elaborate? What do you mean by "we"? SM? Aren't the operations supposed to be invoked on behalf of the user who owns the service?
How is it done in other similar cases?
Sorry, I am not a security expert..

Dear Alex at all,

In order to validate the requests received from a user, we need to validate it with the keystone, this operation require that we have an administrator token. If we do not have it we have to generate a normal token each 24 hours, which introduce lots of complexity due to we have to store it in DB together with the time of it.

It is possible that you provide me this administrator token?
