Description Dmitri Pal 2014-07-01 13:19:09 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4387

LDAP attribute `description` (OID `2.5.4.13`) is always optional in LDAP schema but IPA UI forces user to enter something.

I have noticed this problem with `permission-add`, `privilege-add` and `role-add` commands but I suspect that the same applies to many other IPA commands.
