-Refactored the associations code into a set of objects that are configured by the entities
-Added support for associations that can be done in a single rpc
-hostgroup to host and group to user associations working
-Restructed sampledata so that the file is matched automatically by the RPC method name
-The new ipa_cmd/sampledata scheme insists on there being sample data for any commands or the ipa_command fails.
-Added sampledata files for all the calls we make
-renamed several of the sampledata files to match their rpc calls
-Started a pattern of refactoring where all the forms for the entity fall under a single object
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.
