Comment 1 Alexander Bokovoy 2015-11-19 11:15:27 UTC
User renaming is done with 'ldapmodrdn' utility. FreeIPA does not provide user renaming support.

This is not really a bug.

Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2015-11-19 14:04:21 UTC
IPA has supported renaming for ages.

$ ipa user-mod --rename newuser olduser

The bug (or perhaps RFE) is apparently that staging users cannot be renamed.

Comment 3 swathi b venugopal 2015-11-19 18:36:55 UTC
In staging user we cannot rename the user but in active user we can rename it and 
i am finding that bug in active users
