There is no external password reset self service in IPA yet. We will be 
starting to look into this effort during summer.
Take a look at the bucket of tickets in the "FreeIPA Community Portal 
Release" here https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/report/3.

What prevents you from making IPA trusted? You can chain IPA to your CA 
or use it CA-less with certs from your own CA.
Then UI would be an option I assume.
