    Directory containing Fernet receipt keys. This directory must exist before
    using `keystone-manage fernet_setup` for the first time, must be writable by
    the user running `keystone-manage fernet_setup` or `keystone-manage
    fernet_rotate`, and of course must be readable by keystone's server process.
    The repository may contain keys in one of three states: a single staged key
    (always index 0) used for receipt validation, a single primary key (always the
    highest index) used for receipt creation and validation, and any number of
    secondary keys (all other index values) used for receipt validation. With
    multiple keystone nodes, each node must share the same key repository contents,
    with the exception of the staged key (index 0). It is safe to run
    `keystone-manage fernet_rotate` once on any one node to promote a staged key
    (index 0) to be the new primary (incremented from the previous highest index),
    and produce a new staged key (a new key with index 0); the resulting repository
    can then be atomically replicated to other nodes without any risk of race
    conditions (for example, it is safe to run `keystone-manage fernet_rotate` on
    host A, wait any amount of time, create a tarball of the directory on host A,
    unpack it on host B to a temporary location, and atomically move (`mv`) the
    directory into place on host B). Running `keystone-manage fernet_rotate`
    *twice* on a key repository without syncing other nodes will result in receipts
    that can not be validated by all nodes.

    highest numerical index), and one secondary key (every other index). Increasing
    this value means that additional secondary keys will be kept in the rotation.
