Code review comment for lp:~dan-prince/nova/bug723897

The OpenStack API and the EC2 API should have the same set of credentials. Nothing else makes sense from a user point of view: users should not need to know which API an app is written to in order to pick the correct set of credentials to use. That's what r709 does.

There is a very easy workaround (just use the EC2 credentials, removing the project name from the EC2 username) When my novarc patch lands, it becomes trivial (use the specified credentials). The OpenStack API is still unstable, so it's okay to break things now. Reverting r709 just postpones the pain of fixing OpenStack authentication.

To interested parties: there's lots more discussion on the linked bug :-)
