Description of problem:
When configuring external authentication using katello-installer's --foreman-ipa-authentication=true option, some options are hardcoded, for example KrbLocalUserMapping On. It should be possible for the admin to tweak those values -- KrbLocalUserMapping to achieve Namespace Separation per http://www.freeipa.org/page/Web_App_Authentication#Namespace_Separation, but other possible values as well.
One possibility is to add multitude of installer options to tweak various options of Apache modules. Another is to make it possible to drop Apache module snippets to some conf.d directories and have them loaded from appropriate places. That way the admin will have free hand to configure other aspects of the setup, beyond what is explicitly supported by the installer, without the danger of manually editing puppet-managed configuration files -- those changes will get lost.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.0.x.
How reproducible:
Deterministic.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to tweak Apache configuration of Satellite 6, for example (but not limited to) KrbLocalUserMapping.
Actual results:
It's hard, there's danger next run of katello-installer will remove those changes.
Expected results:
There is a supported way to do that.

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
I think adding arbitrary additional apache configuration options is the best, and there's a number of BZ's opened with similar goals that would be solved by this.
Given the depth of apache's configuration options, it'd be a LOT of installer switches.
Consolidating these all under BZ1305782.
