Because the ipa.config() object raises an error if there is no configuration file and auto-detection fails, ipa_webgui may fail to start at install time. 440475

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. Firefox ------- 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.
