Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/user-registration. Description: Allow users to register. Right now only admin can create a new user. Workflow ====== * Add a new signup form in horizon * Onsubmit event of signup form, send user details to an external service (called it "security service") * "security service" is nothing it is a webservice (We can use paste.httpserver or flask) * Why we need an additional service? * We need admin access to keystone to create a new user. * We can't login to keystone as admin from horizon, that is a security risk, right ?. * So I am planning to login to keystone as admin from "security service" * "security service" will makes an API call to keystone to create a new user * We can also save additional user details in the field 'text' of keystaon's 'user' table as json object. Or use our on Local DB. * Security service creates user in disable mode and return the response back to horizon * horizon will send account activation url to user's email id. * Once the user clicks on activation link, flow is again same. First comes to horizon, then to 'security service' and makes keystone api call for user activation.
