The API version the client sends can now be used to check what the client expects or is capable of. All version tests IPA does will be be named and listed in one module, ipalib.capabilities, which includes a function to test a specific capability against an API version. Similarly to Python's __future__ module, capabilities.py also serves as documentation of backwards-incompatible changes to the API. The first capability to be defined is "messages". Recent enough clients can accept a list of warnings or other info under the "messages" key in the result dict. If a JSON client does not send the API version, it is assumed this is a testing client (e.g. curl from the command line). Such a client "has" all capabilities, but it will always receive a warning mentioning that forward compatibility is not guaranteed. If a XML client does not send the API version, it is assumed it uses the API version before capabilities were introduced. (This is to keep backwards compatibility with clients containing bug https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3294) Whenever a capability is added, the API version must be incremented. To ensure that, capabilities are written to API.txt and checked by `makeapi --validate`. Design page: http://freeipa.org/page/V3/Messages Ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2732 |

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.
