The basic idea is to let the openstack clients decide what sort of token optimization to use - for example, while a normal client uses uuid tokens, some services like heat or magnum may opt for pki tokens for their operations. A service like nova, configured for PKI will validate that token without going to any keystone server, but if it gets a uuid token then validates it with a keystone endpoint. I'm under the impression that the different token formats have different use-cases, so am wondering if there is a conceptual reason why multiple token formats are an either/or scenario.

This would be complicated to setup. How would the Openstack services validate the token? Which keystone node would they use? A better question is why would you want to do this?

    Keystone supports both tokens and ec2 credentials simultaneously,
    but as far as I can tell, will only do a single token format
    (uuid, pki/z, fernet) at a time. Is it possible or advisable to
    configure keystone to issue multiple token formats? For example, I
    could configure two keystone servers, each using a different token
    format, so depending on endpoint used, I could get a uuid or pki
    token. Each service can use either token format, so is there a
    conceptual or implementation issue with this setup?
