MagnetoDB

Light weight session for authorization

Registered by Ilya Sviridov

Sending a PKI token every request introduces huge overhead (4-16KB) in bandwith usage.
It is suggested to introduce alternative lightweight mechanism based on HTTP session approach.

Whiteboard

If you are making a call to /v3/auth/token, the v3 token received will contain service catalog which takes up most of the space. If you replace it by /v3/auth/tokens?nocatalog, the size of token reduces to around 1 KB. It is much preferable to do this I think instead of doing session management by magnetodb.

Yes. It minimizes the overhead with bandwith. We have to check how it helps and how much CPU it will cost us
