Currently, FreeIPA's install/admin scripts are long pieces of code that aren't very reusable, importable, or testable. They have been extended over time with features such as logging and error handling, but since each tool was extended individually, there is much inconsistency and code duplication. This patch starts a framework which the admin tools can use, and converts ipa-ldap-updater to use the framework. Common tasks the tools do -- option parsing, validation, logging setup, error handling -- are represented as methods. Individual tools can extend, override or reuse the defaults as they see fit. The ipa-ldap-updater has two modes (normal and --upgrade) that don't share much functionality. They are represented by separate classes. Option parsing, and selecting which class to run, happens before they're instantiated. All code is moved to importable modules to aid future testing. The only thing that remains in the ipa-ldap-updater script is a two-line call to the library. First part of the work for: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2652 |

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.
