unable to set configuration file when running keystone as wsgi application

[Cristian Sava]

Currently, the initialize_application() function defined inside keystone/server/wsgi.py module does not allow defining custom locations for configuration file:

def initialize_application(name, post_log_configured_function=lambda: None):
    common.configure()
    ...

I think the initialize_application() prototype should allow passing through arguments for the common.configure() function, that would allow for instance defining alternate config file locations etc. Such customization is possible when running keystone under eventlet model.

I don't see a good way of setting sys.argv via mod_wsgi. We should probably support ENV var setting for the config-file/config-dir/paste-ini values.

    Customize config file location when run as wsgi app.

    Running keystone as a wsgi application should allow the same kind of
    customization as when run from the command line. Setting sys.argv for
    wsgi applications is difficult so that environment variables need to
    be used for this purpose.
