I don't see why you would need or want to do such.  You, as the IC 
administrator, control directly how many (if any) catalogs a user can 
run.  If you only want a user to have one catalog, you only define one 
catalog for them.  If you only want one catalog per domain, you can 
configure that, as well.  If you have a user who has three domains and 
wants a catalog on each, you can configure IC with one user, and one 
catalog for each domain.  (/home/jsmith/catalogs/cat1,cat2,cat3)
