Current Answer Cache storing mechanism is not ideal for storing
non-trivial Python types like arrays, custom classes, etc.
RawConfigParser just translates values to string, which
are not correctly decoded when the Answer Cache is parsed and
restored in the installer.
This patch replaces RawConfigParser with Python's standard pickle
module, which is a recommended way for serialization in Python.

Changes:
* added clear method to widgets, section, search, details, association facets
* clear and refresh method in facet are called only if key/filter was changed
* added id generator for widgets
Labels using the word "enroll" (except for host enrollment) have
been modified to use more relevant words.
The IPA.add_dialog has been renamed into IPA.entity_adder_dialog
for clarity.
Ticket #1642
The IPA.checkboxes_widget has been modified such that it performs
validation when the checkboxes are clicked. This will also clear any
validation errors.
Do at least a basic validation of DNS zone manager mail address.
Do not require '@' to be in the mail address as the SOA record
stores this value without it and people may be used to configure
it that way. '@' is always removed by the installer/dns plugin before
the DNS zone is created.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1966
The dialogs and details pages have been modified to use the * symbol
to mark required fields. The automount map and the DNS zone dialogs
have been modified to update the required fields according to the
input type.

Certificates are passed through the IPA XML-RPC and JSON as binary
data in DER X509 format. Queries peformed against the LDAP server
also return binary DER X509 format. In all cases the binary DER
data is base-64 encoded.
PEM is standard text format for certificates. It also uses base64 to
encode the binary DER data, but had specific formatting
requirements. The base64 data must be wrapped inside PEM delimiters
and the base64 data must be line wrapped at 64 characters.
Most external software which accepts certificates as input will only
accept DER or PEM format (e.g. openssl & NSS). Although base64 is
closely related to PEM it is not PEM unless the PEM delimters are
present and the base64 data is line wrapped at 64 characters.
We already convert binary DER certificates which have been passed as
base64 in other parts of the IPA code. However this conversion has not
been available in the web UI. When the web UI presented certificates
it did so by filling a dialog box with a single line of base64 data. A
user could not copy this data and use it as input to openssl or NSS
for example.
We resolve this problem by introducing new javascript functions in
certificate.js. IPA.cert.pem_cert_format(text) will examine the text
input and if it's already in PEM format just return it unmodified,
otherwise it will line wrap the base64 data and add the PEM
delimiters. Thus it is safe to call on either a previously formated
PEM cert or a binary DER cert encoded as base64. This applies to
pem_csr_format() as well for CSR's.
Because pem_cert_format() is safe to call on either format the web UI
will see the use of the flag add_pem_delimiters was eliminated except
in the one case where the IPA.cert.download_dialog() was being abused
to display PKCS12 binary data (pkcs12 is neither a cert nor a cert
request). Because of the abuse of the cert.download_dialog() for
pkcs12 it was necessary to retain the flag which in effect said "do
not treat the data as PEM".
Modify the CSR (Certificate Signing Request) dialog box to accept a
PEM formatted CSR. Remove the artifical PEM delimiters above and below
the dialog box which were used to suggest the input needed to be sans
the delimiters. The dialog box continues to accept bare base64 thus
allowing either text format.
Also note this solves the display of certificate data in the UI
without touching anything existing code in the server or command line,
thus it's isolated.

The ipa.css, ipa_error.css and ipa_migration.css contain some duplicate definitions which cause maintenance problems.
Additional changes:
* fixed whitespaces in ipa.css
* unified headings in config pages

Each entity is created together with its dependent objects (e.g. facets and dialog boxes). This causes a circular dependency problem because some of the objects need to obtain a reference to another entity that has not been created.
Currently this is handled by storing only the other entity name and resolve it when needed (e.g. during rendering stage). In IPA.search_facet this delays the creation of the table widget, making it more difficult to customize.
One solution is to do the object creation in 2 steps:
* create all entity objects only
* create the dependent objects in each entity
Implemented solution:
* all entities are created on application start
* dependant objects (facets and dialogs) are created at once on their first use in entity.
There may already be a record in /etc/hosts for chosen IP address
which may not be detected under some circumstances. Make sure
that /etc/hosts is checked properly.

Make sure that the hostname IPA uses is a system hostname. If user
passes a non-system hostname, update the network settings and
system hostname in the same way that ipa-client-install does.
This step should prevent various services failures which may not
be ready to talk to IPA with non-system hostname.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1931
Always check (even with --setup-dns or --no-host-dns) that if the
host name or ip address resolves, it resolves to sane value. Otherwise
report an error. Misconfigured /etc/hosts causing these errors could
harm the installation later.

Fixes the webui for the case wherea user is not admin but has a role. In
that case, the UI should show the full administrative tabset, but was
instead limited to the selfservice tabset.
The problem was rolegroup had been renamed to role but the UI hadn't
been updated to reflect this.

There were quite errors in es.po, it was difficult or impossible to
track down where they came from, Transifex does not have good revision
history.
I fixed about 20% of the msgstr's in the file that had obvious
problems which could be spotted by a non-Spanish speaking person.
Spurious backslashes and backslash-newlines had been introduced. I
tracked this particular problem down to a bug in polib. polib is a
Python library which can read/write po/mo files. In Fedora it's
packaged as python-polib. polib is used by the Transifex instance to
read/write po files. We don't currently use polib in IPA (that will
change soon though) but I wrote utilities using polib to help fix the
bad po file and analyze what had gone wrong. I discovered that if one
simply uses polib to read a po file into memory and they write that po
file back out from memory you don't end up with the same contents if
there are backslashed escapes in the file. I tracked this down to the
escape() and unescape() functions in polib. This caused me to look to
see if upstream polib had been fixed. It had. Therefore I think the
spurious backslashes were introduced when Transifex was using an older
broken version of polib. I filed this Fedora bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744419 to get the fixes
into python-polib. I manually corrected all the backslash errors.
I compared all 1329 translations from a known good version of es.po
with the current version and generated a new es.po by taking the
translation (e.g. msgstr) from the two po files which was obviously
correct. In those instances where neither msgstr was obviosuly correct
the deleted the translation entirely.
I also wrote utilities to validate any "substitution" variables
appearing in the text. I discovered a number of instances where the
substitution variable had been malformed by the translator such that
it was syntactically invalid. This is how we originally discovered
problems with the translation, it was throwing Python exceptions. I
fixed all those errors.
I also found approximately 80 translations where the leading
whitespace had been altered by the translator. Those also were fixed.
I cannot verify that the remaining translations are a correct Spanish
translation of the original text (in fact a number of them I looked at
seemed dubious to me, for example it omitted recongnizable
keywords). But I do believe that the obvious errors are fixed and we
shouldn't be throwing any more Python exceptions because of malformed
substitution variables.
In checking to see if the dogtag proxy configuration needed to be updated
we didn't handle the case where dogtag isn't installed at all.

This resolves two issues:
1. The DNS acis lacked a prefix so weren't tied to permissions
2. The permissions were added before the privileges so the member
values weren't calculated properly
For updates we need to add in the members and recalculate memberof via
a DS task.

Web UI init method was modified to get initialization data in 3 calls.
First call remains the same as before except that the json_metadata command
was removed.
JSON metadata are requested after successful response of the first batch command.
This approach should preserve functionality in IE (where request is missing after
authentication). Getting JSON metadata is split to two commands - this should prevent
the error in linked ticket. These two commands are paralelly executed by new
concurent_command object.
Concurrent command waits for all responses then it calls each command's success
handler.

Description of problem:
Title is missing while configuring browser for the first time.
Actual results:
There is no title on this screen. I noticed it only on step 8 and later so I am not sure if title is also missing earlier at step 6 or not.
Expected results:
Title "Identity Management" is always present.
Fixed:
* modified paths to images
* fixed padding in ssbrowser.html
* moved browser icons to ui folder
* deleted unused images in html and migration folders (they are already in ui folder, and weren't deployed)

gidNumber is not an allowed attribute for a non-posix group. When adding a non-posix group from the UI, unchecking the "Is this a POSIX group?:" box should disable the "GID:" field.
Currently, verify_fqdn() function raises RuntimeError for every
problem with the hostname. This makes it difficult for tools
like ipa-replica-prepare to behave differently for a subset of
raised errors (for example to be able to create a DNS record for
new replica when verify_fqdn() reports a lookup error).
Implement own exceptions for verify_fqdn() that they can be safely
used to distinguish the error type.
