Simo Sorce 0d6b6fa084 Implement password operation checks and key material generation for the
ldap add and modify operation performed on the userPassword attribute.

Add helper functions to reduce code duplication.

Do not enforce encrypted connections on ldap add/ldap mod for compatibility
reasons. (We cannot enforce people not to send the password in the clear
anyway, we can only refuse to accept it at the most which does not gain
you much if someone then re-send you the same password previously exposed)

IPA uses Kerberos with an LDAP storage backend and some custom plugins
to help manage users and passwords.

A UI interface is provided to make user administration and self-service
possible. A set of command-line utilities that should provide the same
capabilities is in ipa-admintools.

The Gecko engine provides an interface for managing a user's configuration
in Javascript. Naturally this is highly protected and the user gets an
appropriately dire warning when you try to do this. It also requires 
signed javascript.

During installation a signing certificate is created that creates
and signs /usr/share/ipa/html/configure.jar which contains the javascript
to update the browser configuration. User's are directed to go to
/errors/preferencs.html to load this javascript and apply the changes.
