This patch contains 2 parts. The first part is a small utility to create and validate the current API. To do this it needs to load ipalib which on a fresh system introduces a few problems, namely that it relies on a python plugin to set the default encoding to utf8. For our purposes we can skip that. It is also important that any optional plugins be loadable so the API can be examined. The second part is a version exchange between the client and server. The version has a major and a minor version. The major verion is updated whenever existing API changes. The minor version is updated when new API is added. A request will be rejected if either the major versions don't match or if the client major version is higher than then server major version (though by implication new API would return a command not found if allowed to proceed). To determine the API version of the server from a client use the ping command. ticket 584 |

This is a set of libraries common to IPA clients and servers though mostly
geared currently towards command-line tools.
A brief overview:
config.py - identify the IPA server domain and realm. It uses dnsclient to
try to detect this information first and will fall back to
/etc/ipa/default.conf if that fails.
dnsclient.py - find IPA information via DNS
ipautil.py - helper functions
entity.py - entity is the main data type. User and Group extend this class
(but don't add anything currently).
ipavalidate.py - basic data validation routines
