Ohh !
Thanks-a-lot !
I was not aware of the existence of this HOW-TO.

In this case, I will just BETA-test it, and will try to improve it.

1. Create two MySQL databases and associated users :

# mysqladmin create nova
# mysql -e "grant all on nova.* to '<nova_user>' identified by '<nova_secret>'"
# mysqladmin flush-privileges

It is unclear -- it can be any user ?
Assuming I have a user "myuser" with passwrd "123456", I type:
# mysql -e "grant all on nova.* to 'myuser' identified by '123456'"
?

Or it must be some specific OpenStack user ?
Will 'root' work ?
Password must match to the /etc/passwd one ?

2. What is %tenant_id%  ?

Endpoint templates for the region :

# keystone-manage endpointTemplates add RegionOne nova
http://<proxy.host>:8774/v1.1/%tenant_id%
http://<proxy.host>:8774/v1.1/%tenant_id%
http://<proxy.host>:8774/v1.1/%tenant_id% 1 1

Nowhere in this document it is mentioned.

3. keystone configuration:

# keystone-manage role grant Admin admin admin
# keystone-manage role grant Admin admin

Why I need those 2 lines ?
Short explanation (or a link to explanation) would largely help.

4. glance configuration:

Docs Says: "Glance-common will ask you which pipeline flavor you want.
Choose keystone. "

Assuming I have mistakenly chose another option, how can I revert it ?
I tried to purge and then re-install this package, but it didn't help.

5. more comments to come...
