When connection between a master machine and future replica is not
sane, the replica installation may fail unexpectedly with
inconvenient error messages. One common problem is misconfigured
firewall.
This patch adds a program ipa-replica-conncheck which tests the
connection using the following procedure:
1) Execute the on-replica check testing the connection to master
2) Open required ports on local machine
3) Ask user to run the on-master part of the check OR run it
automatically:
a) kinit to master as default admin user with given password
b) run the on-master part using ssh
4) When master part is executed, it checks connection back to
the replica and prints the check result
This program is run by ipa-replica-install as mandatory part. It
can, however, be skipped using --skip-conncheck option.
ipa-replica-install now requires password for admin user to run
the command on remote master.

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.
