+Middleware Architecture
+=======================
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+The Keystone middleware architecture supports a common authentication protocol
+in use between the OpenStack projects. By using Keystone as a common
+authentication and authorization mechanism, the OpenStack project can plug in
+to existing authentication and authorization systems in use by existing
+environments.
+
+The auth_token middleware is no longer hosted in Keystone and has moved to the
+keystonemiddleware project. The `documentation regarding authentication
+middleware`_ can be found there.
