Hi Brant,

Sorry, for being confusing earlier. We have operations an 
administrator/operator is performing on behalf of a user, e.g. “Create 
Loadbalancer X for user tenant-id 123”. Now we are not checking the tenant-id 
and are wondering how to make the operation more robust with kesyone’s help.

Thanks,
German

All,

Following up from the last Neutron meeting:

If Neutron is performing an operation as an admin on behalf of a user that 
user's tenant-id (or project-id) isn't validated - in particular an admin can 
mistype and create object on behalf of non existent users. I am wondering how 
other projects (e.g. Nova) deal with that and if there is some API support in 
keystone to save us a round trip (e.g. authenticate admin + validate additional 
user-id).

Not to long ago we got support in the auth_token middleware for a "service" 
token in addition to the user's token. The user token is sent in the 
x-auth-token header and the service token is sent in the x-service-token, and 
then fields from both tokens are available to the application (e.g., the user 
project is in HTTP_X_PROJECT_ID and the service token roles are in 
HTTP_X_SERVICE_ROLES). So you could potentially have a policy rule on the 
server for the operation that required the service token to have the 'service' 
role, and what neutron could do is send the original user token in x-auth-token 
and send its own token as the service token. This seems to be what you're 
asking for here.

Thanks,
