Jim Meyering 0d2212fe2f remove useless if-before-free tests
I've been on a crusade (;-) to remove useless if-before-free tests,
so ran a script that spotted some here.  I think I removed the first
batch (without braces) automatically, then manually removed the ones
with curly braces around the free statements.

You may well have doubts about the portability of removing those
tests, but as long as you don't care about SunOS4 or earlier, you'll
be fine.  I've done similar things for e.g., coreutils, glibc, and git,
and have had no problems.

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.

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.
