This documentation is primarily targeted towards contributors of the project, and assumes that you are already familiar with Keystone from an `end-user perspective`_; however, end users, deployers, and operators will also find it useful. .. _`OpenStack's Identity API`: http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/keystone-specs/ .. _`end-user perspective`: http://docs.openstack.org/ This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source tree.
