The main reason not to build it into the code as it's even better to just _never store tokens_: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/non-persistent-tokens http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/keystone-specs/plain/specs/juno/non-persistent-tokens.rst or just use certs: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/keystone-tokenless-authz-with-x509-ssl-client-cert The general thought is that putting lots of things in the database that don't need to be stored anywhere is a bad idea. The need for the cron job is just a symptom of that bug. __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
