Rob Crittenden 58cfc7ab68 Fix account activation.
We do account activation by using a Class of Service based on group
membership. A problem can happen if the entry itself has an nsaccountlock
attribute and you try doing Class of Service work as well because the
local attribute has priority. So try to detect that the entry has a local
nsAccountLock attribute and report an appropriate error.

Don't allow the admins or editors groups to be de-activated.

Return a better error message if account [in]activation fails.

Catch errors when doing group [in]activation.

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.
