Please, ANSWER this question AT https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35058665/wirecloud-authentication-using-keystone-only
Question:
Wirecloud authentication using keystone only?
Description:
The instructions for providing FIWARE based authentication for Wirecloud suggest installing KeyRock (a frontend/backend combo of the Horizon/Keystone GE). Is the frontend (Horizon) really necessary if the only application to be secured is a Wirecloud instance (and possibly some backend services). The point is to avoid, if possible, to have to configure/style/maintain etc. a second frontend. Is it possible to authenticate directly using a Django plugin like this? Pros and cons?
