This patch adds the capability of installing a Dogtag KRA to an IPA instance. With this patch, a KRA is NOT configured by default when ipa-server-install is run. Rather, the command ipa-kra-install must be executed on an instance on which a Dogtag CA has already been configured. The KRA shares the same tomcat instance and DS instance as the Dogtag CA. Moreover, the same admin user/agent (and agent cert) can be used for both subsystems. Certmonger is also confgured to monitor the new subsystem certificates. To create a clone KRA, simply execute ipa-kra-install <replica_file> on a replica on which a Dogtag CA has already been replicated. ipa-kra-install will use the security domain to detect whether the system being installed is a replica, and will error out if a needed replica file is not provided. The install scripts have been refactored somewhat to minimize duplication of code. A new base class dogtagintance.py has been introduced containing code that is common to KRA and CA installs. This will become very useful when we add more PKI subsystems. The KRA will install its database as a subtree of o=ipaca, specifically o=ipakra,o=ipaca. This means that replication agreements created to replicate CA data will also replicate KRA data. No new replication agreements are required. Added dogtag plugin for KRA. This is an initial commit providing the basic vault functionality needed for vault. This plugin will likely be modified as we create the code to call some of these functions. Part of the work for: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3872 The uninstallation option in ipa-kra-install is temporarily disabled.

IPA Server
Overview
--------
FreeIPA allows Linux administrators to centrally manage identity,
authentication and access control aspects of Linux and UNIX systems
by providing simple to install and use command line and web based
managment tools.
FreeIPA is built on top of well known Open Source components and standard
protocols with a very strong focus on ease of management and automation
of installation and configuration tasks.
FreeIPA can seamlessly integrate into an Active Directory environment via
cross-realm Kerberos trust or user synchronization.
Benefits
--------
FreeIPA:
* Allows all your users to access all the machines with the same credentials
and security settings
* Allows users to access personal files transparently from any machine in
an authenticated and secure way
* Uses an advanced grouping mechanism to restrict network access to services
and files only to specific users
* Allows central management of security mechanisms like passwords,
SSH Public Keys, SUDO rules, Keytabs, Access Control Rules
* Enables delegation of selected administrative tasks to other power users
* Integrates into Active Directory environments
Components
----------
The FreeIPA project provides unified installation and management
tools for the following components:
* LDAP Server - based on the 389 project (LDAP)
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Main_Page
* KDC - based on MIT Kerberos implementation
http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Main_Page
* PKI based on Dogtag project
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PKI_Main_Page
* Samba libraries for Active Directory integration
http://www.samba.org/
* DNS Server based on BIND and the Bind-DynDB-LDAP plugin
