Current validation logic supports only validation based on metadata. It can be extended only by overriding field's validation method. This approach requires creating subclasses of field for each different format of desired value. It's inconvenient for cases like adding the same validation logic to two different subclasses of field. This patch is adding support for creating custom validators. Validator is an object which contains validation logic. Validation is executed in a validate(value, context) method. This method checks if the value is valid and returns a validation result. Validation result is a simple object which contains valid property and an error message if valid is false. Field is extended by validators property. It can be set in spec object or later. It should contain instances of validators for the field. Validators are run in field's validation method.

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.
