IMHO we should set the environment variable in 
/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service, instead of providing a new service 
file, because we are just changing configuration, not creating a new 
concurrent httpd instance, as is the case with ipa-memcached, and also 
not using alternative httpd implementation which masks the current one, 
as is the case with bind-pkcs11. It would simplify the whole thing 
significantly and it's even recommended in httpd.service to do so:

     # For example, to pass additional options (for instance, -D 
definitions) to the
     # httpd binary at startup, you need to create a file named
     # "/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service" containing:
     #	.include /lib/systemd/system/httpd.service
     #	[Service]
     #	Environment=OPTIONS=-DMY_DEFINE

(BTW I wonder why /etc/sysconfig/httpd support was removed from httpd in 
Fedora 
(<http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/httpd.git/commit/?id=0b19f7b6e1a47c6167a8ab43b4a9d1e759b54721>), 
it seems like a better place to customize environment variables, rather 
than having to create a modified service file...)

Anyway, I would prefer if we set it in a way that works on non-systemd 
distros as well. Can't we just set "GssapiCredStore 
ccache:FILE:/var/run/httpd/krbcache/krb5ccache" in 
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ipa.conf?
