[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 664 entitlement support

This patch adds a plugin and tools for managing entitlements for host 
machines.

Testing is rather complex so I've attached a script to help set up the 
Candlepin server. You'll need to ping me out of band for the backend 
data. This configures the Candlepin server with an in-memory database so 
any time tomcat6 is restarted you'll need to reload the data.

You have to run candlepin.setup as root. This will configure your Fedora 
tomcat6 instance.

Once your candlepin server is setup and IPA is installed do something like:

$ ipa entitle-register admin
(password is admin)

$ ipa entitle-consume 25

$ ipa entitle-status
(verify that it is 25)

# ipa-compliance
(should be 1 of 50)

Our tools can consume only, not return entitlements.

tickets 28, 79 and 278.
