Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Cause: When Kerberos single sign on to IPA Web UI fails, IPA Web UI does not have means to fall back to login+password authentication. Consequence: Workstations outside of IPA Kerberos realm or with in-compatible browsers cannot access the IPA Web UI unless a fallback from Kerberos authentication to login+password authentication is configured on the IPA web server. Change: IPA Web UI is now able to fall back to form based authentication when Kerberos authentication cannot be used. Result: Users outside of IPA Kerberos realm or with in-compatible browsers can now login with their login and passwords.

Description Brian Cook 2011-11-12 21:43:35 UTC 
When Kerberos single sign on fails, IPA should fall back to a landing page with a username + password login form that also has directions on it to install the single sign on plugin if the platform supports it

This would enable better cross-browser compatibility and access from workstations where the kereberos browser plug-in cannot be installed.

verified using ipa-server-2.2.0-12.el6.x86_64

On a windows machine, used IE to access a ipa server. was able to login using form based auth, browsed through UI.
Also logged in as a non-admin user (whose password doesn't need to be reset) and got to page with user details.
