Error: ipa-server conflicts with mod_ssl

IPA requires  mod_nss, and mod_nss & mod_ssl are unable to co-exist
in apache, so IPA has a conflict with mod_ssl. That said, its a little
od that the Conflicts: is not in the mod_nss RPM itself.

mod_nss and mod_ssl can co-exist ok. The problem is when you also want to use mod_proxy. mod_proxy doesn't have a generic way to register SSL callbacks. It has a single API. Both mod_ssl and mod_nss can register those callbacks but mod_nss will defer to mod_ssl if it is already loaded. Hence if you are using mod_nss and mod_proxy together, as IPA does, then mod_ssl will conflict.

And unfortunately it is the mere loading of mod_ssl that registers these functions, so even having it installed, even if you aren't using it, will cause problems. Simply renaming ssl.conf isn't enough either because the next time that mod_ssl gets updated a new ssl.conf will be written by rpm, causing a previously working system to mysteriously break.

The Conflict isn't ideal but it's the only sure-fire way we've found.
