>From what I can see Bandit is more concerned about "Web" Identity, or
public Identity, FreeIPA instead is currently more focused on internal
Enterprise Identity. I can see that there may be overlap in the future
once FreeIPA will start looking into things like Federation.
I guess we will keep an eye on Bandit and see if we can play well with
