The wiki mentions the password being saved using

As mentioned in wiki page, the password is stored in base64 format.
Which means it's stored in cleartext.  That is Not Good(tm) :)
Can Keyring be used to store a token instead?  That would A)  be better than 
password and B)  avoid a Keystone hit.

Don't tokens expire?


Yes, they do, but that is no reason not to put them in the keyring,

With the PKI tokens,  you will be able to query a token's expiry without going 
across the wire.

Adam, can you please file a ticket to use keyring to store tokens for keystone? 
I'll work on it.
