Hi Michael

Have you had a look at the freeIPA home page for a description of what 
freeIPA provides, what its goals are, and the different technologies 
involved? You will no doubt get a much more detailed reply from the 
developers, but the home page will provide a good overview.

While 389-ds is just that - a directory server - freeIPA uses this 
directory server in conjunction with MIT Kerberos, DNS, and other 
technologies to provide an integrated security management system. 389-ds 
is a single product; freeIPA is all about integrating a number of 
products to ease the process of security and identity management.

好运～！
