Alexander Bokovoy d09389ab6f Add "Extending FreeIPA" developer guide
"Extending FreeIPA" is a developer guide of FreeIPA core framework.
Please make sure to improve the guide every time parts of the core framework
are affected by your changes. This document ideally should correspond to
the current state of the framework.

The Guide is written using Emacs Org Mode but can be edited with any
plain text editing tool. Emacs is only required to convert it to
distribution formats like HTML and TXT.

See guide/Makefile for building the guide and README for details of
the build environment.

                               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.
