I posted this to the katello list, but was told I may get better luck here
Two quick questions:
Are there any full diagram overviews of the katello process? I'm
interested in getting a better understanding of the whole life cycle of a
server process with katello.
Is it possible to use the freeipas ca for the whole ca process? Ie. With
foreman/puppet, we grab a unique ca during the kick start process so when
puppetrun comes around we already have a cert and don't have to rely on
puppetca. Could this process also work with FreeIPA? I saw the redesign
notes, but that seems like it's over a year old (Feb 2013)

I don't know this one.

This is planned, but I am not sure when it happens. We have been
discussing this several times, I am not aware of any implementation of
these ideas yet.
