A change to the algorithm that generates random passwords for multiple purposes throught IPA. This spells out the need to assess password strength by the entropy it contains rather than its length. This new password generation should also be compatible with the NSS implementation of password requirements in FIPS environment so that newly created databases won't fail with wrong authentication. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5695 Reviewed-By: Martin Basti <mbasti@redhat.com> Reviewed-By: Petr Spacek <pspacek@redhat.com>
This is a set of libraries common to IPA clients and servers though mostly
geared currently towards command-line tools.
A brief overview:
config.py - identify the IPA server domain and realm. It uses python-dns to
try to detect this information first and will fall back to
/etc/ipa/default.conf if that fails.
ipautil.py - helper functions
entity.py - entity is the main data type. User and Group extend this class
(but don't add anything currently).
ipavalidate.py - basic data validation routines
