Addresses bz#471130 Also fix bugs in ipapwd_start. Also remove mutex, it is not necessary with the current code, we needed it when we used to change reload the configuration and keep it referenced in a static pointer. ipapwd_start runs only once and the global variables it sets are fixed in stone until DS is restarted.

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.
