Connection check program for replica installation
When connection between a master machine and future replica is not sane, the replica installation may fail unexpectedly with inconvenient error messages. One common problem is misconfigured firewall. This patch adds a program ipa-replica-conncheck which tests the connection using the following procedure: 1) Execute the on-replica check testing the connection to master 2) Open required ports on local machine 3) Ask user to run the on-master part of the check OR run it automatically: a) kinit to master as default admin user with given password b) run the on-master part using ssh 4) When master part is executed, it checks connection back to the replica and prints the check result This program is run by ipa-replica-install as mandatory part. It can, however, be skipped using --skip-conncheck option. ipa-replica-install now requires password for admin user to run the command on remote master. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1107
