[Freeipa-devel] [PATCHES] 0210-0213 Drop selfsign server functionality

Hello,

These patches convert selfsign masters to CA-less on upgrade, and remove 
all selfsign-related code

The files the CA uses are left around for admins to pick up cert 
management manually. Instructions for that are provided in the design 
document. They pretty much just document what the selfsign CA did.
Removing the automation may seem like a step backwards, but when the 
steps are just a wiki page, the admins can adjust for their needs (e.g. 
issue wildcart certs). For an automated solution we have Dogtag.

Design: http://freeipa.org/page/V3/Drop_selfsign_functionality
Ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3494

(Note that removing the --selfsign *option*, not functionality, has a 
separate ticket and design doc.)
