Hi Lukasz, Thank you for the input. Actually I agree with you, but still I think there's something wrong with our current approach.
I don't like that we work with keystone directly from UI and Fuel CLI. I believe there should be a Nailgun API for authenticating users. In deep of Nail Gun we can use Keystone for authenticating users and validating tokens, but not vice-versa. I mean there's something wrong if we don't provide authentication abstraction and use keystone directly in both server and client sides (Nailgun, CLI, UI, Upgrade Script, etc). What do you think about it? Thanks, Igor On Tue, Sep 23, 2014 at 8:07 PM, Lukasz Oles <lo...@mirantis.com> wrote: > Guys, > > there is no "logout issue". This is REST API.
