That webinterface looks usable to me, found what i expected -
plus groupings/options in the interface for which i do not 
intuitively pick up their use.  Probably just my missing of
the ipa2.0 picture thou.
Looks good so far with the fedora-clients i tested.

2 other comments i collected on the install:

- When http_proxy/https_proxy are set in environment ipa-server-install
is started from then installation doesnt succed, the log mentions
'/usr/bin/wget -O /etc/ipa/ca.crt http://host.domain/ipa/config/ca.crt'
returned with non-0. 
unsetting the 2 vars fixes the problem.

- the install-script noted too many times:
-----
IPA requires ports 389 and 636 for the Directory Server.
These are currently in use:
        389
-----
This was noted even when nothing was listening on the port but it was
in some wait-states.  The admin has just to wait for the state to get
cleared but the script could ofcourse also wait for itself.
