Replace get_ldap_uri() + LDAPClient() with new LDAPClient constructors like LDAPClient.from_realm(). Some places now use LDAPI with external bind instead of LDAP with simple bind. Although the FQDN *should* resolve to 127.0.0.1 / [::1], there is no hard guarantee. The draft https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-let-localhost-be-localhost-04#section-5.1 specifies that applications must verify that the resulting IP is a loopback API. LDAPI is always local and a bit more efficient, too. The simple_bind() method also prevents the caller from sending a password over an insecure line.

Ground rules on adding new schema Brand new schema, particularly when written specifically for IPA, should be added in share/*.ldif. Any new files need to be explicitly loaded in ipaserver/install/dsinstance.py. These simply get copied directly into the new instance schema directory. Existing schema (e.g. in an LDAP draft) may either be added as a separate ldif in share or as an update in the updates directory. The advantage of adding the schema as an update is if 389-ds ever adds the schema then the installation won't fail due to existing schema failing to load during bootstrap. If the new schema requires a new container then this should be added to install/bootstrap-template.ldif.
