Rob Crittenden 4eb7c51e59 Better detection of DS not starting.
The dirsrv init script always returns 0 on status checks, even if an
instance is not started. So we have to look through the output instead.

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.
