Description Petr Vobornik 2015-04-14 12:19:46 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4516

Option "-P" is just a remnant of FreeIPA v1 we no longer need. Admins should not be encouraged in setting KDC master password manually, it is already autogenerated by `ipa-server-install` with the sufficient complexity and password quality.

Comment 1 Petr Vobornik 2015-05-07 14:01:53 UTC

Fixed upstream
master:

Comment 3 Pavel Picka 2015-10-01 14:17:26 UTC

Not verified, ipa-server-install -h and --help still showing '-P' as option

Manual page under deprecated options -  OK
within ipa-server-install -P ...  warning showed OK

Output : 

[root@rhel04 ~]# rpm -q ipa-server
ipa-server-4.2.0-12.el7.x86_64
[root@rhel04 ~]# ipa-server-install --help | grep -e "-P"
    -P MASTER_PASSWORD, --master-password=MASTER_PASSWORD
[root@rhel04 ~]# ipa-server-install -h | grep -e "-P"
    -P MASTER_PASSWORD, --master-password=MASTER_PASSWORD
[root@rhel04 ~]# man ipa-server-install | grep -C 1 -e "-P"
DEPRECATED OPTIONS
       -P MASTER_PASSWORD, --master-password=MASTER_PASSWORD
              The kerberos master password (normally autogenerated).

Comment 4 Jan Cholasta 2015-10-01 14:21:39 UTC

The fix for this bug was accidentally undone by the fix for bug 1250928.

Comment 7 Petr Vobornik 2016-02-15 17:45:02 UTC

I can no longer reproduce with 4.3.x:

#  ipa-server-install --help | grep -e "-P"
# ipa-server-install -h | grep -e "-P"
# man ipa-server-install | grep -C 1 -e "-P"
DEPRECATED OPTIONS
       -P MASTER_PASSWORD, --master-password=MASTER_PASSWORD
              The kerberos master password (normally autogenerated).

Not sure in which commit(s) it was fixed.

Comment 8 Mike McCune 2016-03-28 22:43:24 UTC

This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions
