The file VERSION is now the sole-source of versioning. The generated .spec files will been removed in the maintainer-clean targets and have been removed from the repository. By default a GIT build is done. To do a non-GIT build do: $ make TARGET IPA_VERSION_IS_GIT_SNAPSHOT=no When updating the version you can run this to regenerate the version: $ make version-update The version can be determined in Python by using ipaserver.version.VERSION

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. Firefox ------- 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.
