The host details should allow adding other hosts that would be able to provision keys for a host. This is a list like emails for a user. It should consist of the list of other host name DNs (in UI just names) that should be capable of managing certs on behalf of this host. Example is setting a VPN in the cloud. Host should be able to request a cert on behalf of guest.
Should that list be an exhaustive list of hosts, or should it be a search box? We are going to be limited to 100 records, so we probably need the same functiojnality as the search and associations page.
We could potentially try to do autocomplete here. We leave the text area blank until the user starts typing, then send an ajax request host-find with any non blank data, and use the first result to populate the edit box. This is non trivial, but there are JQuery plugins for autocomplete we might be able to leverage.
The Host managedby attribute can be managed via an association facet called 'Managed by Hosts'. This facet provides a way to search, add, and delete hosts.
This facet is auto-generated and has been available for some time. There's no new code needed to enable this functionality.
