[Freeipa-users] External Self Help Suggestions.

[William Graboyes]

Hi Dmitri,

That is quite a bucket of stuff... On the CA-less install, basically I don't want to have my users change their passwords again (they are complaining about the every 90 day password rotation policy), we do not have an internal CA, most of our "desk top support" folks don't even have access to all of the desktops in the place.  Like I said this place is mind bending when it comes to standard practices.  The CA-less would be good if it were possible to make that change in place, or make the change by standing up a new IPA server and having the ability to import the current data set.

I was looking at PWM, and may try to get that implemented.

Thanks,
Bill
