In order to check presence of nss_ldap or nss-pam-ldapd when installing
client with '--no-sssd' option there was added code into ipa-client-install.
Checking is based on existence of one of nss_ldap configuration files.
This configuration could be in 'etc/ldap.conf', '/etc/nss_ldap.conf' or
'/etc/libnss_ldap.conf'. Optionaly the nss_ldap could cooperate with
pam_ldap module and hence the presence of it is checked by looking for
'pam_ldap.conf' file. Existence of nss-pam-ldapd is checked against
existence of 'nslcd.conf' file. All this checking is done by function
nssldap_exists(). Because both modules are maintained by two different
functions, the function returns tuple containing return code and dictionary
structure - its key is name of target function and value is list of existing
configuration files. Files to check are specified inside the
nssldap_exists() function. nssldap_exists() also returns True if any of
the mandatory files was found, otherwise returns False.
In order to fit the returned values, the functions
configure_{ldap|nslcd}_conf() were slightly modified. They accept one more
parameter which is list of existing files. They are not checking existence
of above mentioned files anymore.

IPA Server
What is it?
-----------
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
credentials)
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
following weaknesses:
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
less focus on policy and audit.
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
