Having float type as a base type for floating point parameters in ipalib introduces several issues, e.g. problem with representation or value comparison. Python language provides a Decimal type which help overcome these issues. This patch replaces a float type and Float parameter with a decimal.Decimal type in Decimal parameter. A precision attribute was added to Decimal parameter that can be used to limit a number of decimal places in parameter representation. This approach fixes a problem with API.txt validation where comparison of float values may fail on different architectures due to float representation error. In order to safely transfer the parameter value over RPC it is being converted to string which is then converted back to decimal.Decimal number on a server side. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2260 |

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.
