Looks like "389 Project"

However I still see:

-bash-4.2# engine-manage-domains -action=add -domain=blinkmind.net -user=nathan -interactive
Enter password:

No user in Directory was found for nathan at BLINKMIND.NET. Trying next LDAP server in list
Failure while testing domain blinkmind.net. Details: No user information was found for user


On my FreeIPA server I see:

[24/Feb/2012:18:28:46 +0000] conn=144 op=3 SRCH base="dc=blinkmind,dc=net" 
scope=2

[24/Feb/2012:18:28:46 +0000] conn=144 op=3 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0 
etime=0 notes=U


Entries returned are 0 because userprincipalname=nathan at BLINKMIND.NET does 
not exist.
