[RFE] cache FreeIPA results locally

[anazmy]

In a production environment it wont be idle to query FreeIPA (reterive hosts) on each and every user login, ideally Aker should maintain a local cache of the hosts once fetched from FreeIPA, with ability for manual refresh based on user input, F5 for example .

initial thought here

Will need 3 objects : 1- user (dict backed by redis ) 2- server ( dict backed by redis) 3- serverlist (list backed by redis)

logic should be like

• Upon start , do we have cache for $user in redis ?
  • Yes, load serverlist
    • convert list to object sutiable for TUI
    • load tui
  • No, Query freeipa for hosts allowed for $user
    • save result in redis under $user object
    • show result on TUI
  • Yes, BUT user doesn't like output , (thinks a host is missing)
    • F5 Key would query freeipa to get fresh list of servers
    • delete redis cache of $user
    • add newly obtained cache .
    • show newly obtained result on TUI

scratch above , need to separate hosts from identity provider i.e. authority
