[SRU] Project selector not working

I naively tried to reproduce this by launching an instance then switching project using the dropdown in the top bar, but as far as I can tell it works? I only see the instance in one of the projects as expected, the project overview quotas look correct as well. Are there other steps required to reproduce? Currently running a fresh devstack (Horizon commmit 20b1c189b5).

@jpichon You need to enable Identity V3 in local_settings.py. The main cause of the problem is the size of the session cookie.

Thanks for the tips Thiago! I still can't reproduce it but I now suspect it may be because my catalogue is too small (I don't have many services installed) so I can't get the cookie to grow overly large. I'll test again when I have a chance to set up a new env with more services.

I can confirm this bug. I think it points to a large issue that needs to be resolved: cookie size limitation.

Regardless of how disciplined we are with what goes into the session cookie, we're going to keep running into this issue. I think the correct answer is requiring a db backing store for session info. Up until Grizzly or Havana, this was a requirement. I think for the convenience of the session cookie, it causes recurrent problems.
