Hi Martin,

ipa.service actually calls `ipactl` command which starts/stops all 
individual components at once (dirsrv, http, kdc, kpasswd, memcache, 
pki-tomcat etc.). All of these services (which are listed in `ipactl 
status`) must be up and running for IPA server to work correctly in all 
aspects.

So in this sense 'ipa.service' is just an umbrella that groups all the 
components of FreeIPA installation.
