It would be helpful to mention this variable in the sunstone docs.
Right now the sunstone configuration guide says nothing about it.

Also, should the regular :auth: field in the sunstone server
config be x509 or server_x509?  Docs indicate x509.

We have the serveradmin user created as specified in the
documentation above, but what we need to know
is--is there any place we have to specify it in the sunstone config file?
