You can put it anywhere you like, note that the keystone admin user is not necessarily tied to an individual system user (in which case the RC file would naturally live in their home directory). Instead this is an openstack identity that a system user assumes by sourcing the keystonerc_admin file. It may be that a single system user sometimes adopts an admin role, and other times uses openstack as a non-admin user. Or that a group of system users share the role of openstack admin. Or whatever. Just put the file somewhere that's only accessible to the system users that are allowed to be admins. Note that there is an unrealistic aspect to this tutorial ... in practice you may be more leary about leaving passwords in text files, in which case the password can be re-typed for each individual command line or the OS_PASSWORD env var set manually per-session. For the tutorial, its just more convenient to dump it into a file.
