Description Aneta Šteflová Petrová 2016-12-15 11:51:04 UTC
The guide does not mention that ID views cannot be applied to IdM servers.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1404770 +++

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5662

The FreeIPA server itself only supports the default ID View, it does not work with customized views for host groups.

The Web UI/CLI should be extended with a validation, to forbid adding FreeIPA servers to the unsupported views. The validator would avoid user confusion when the custom ID View is not working.

Could we solve this also by admonition to
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/id-views-different.html
and mentioned that ID View cannot be applied to IPA servers? I am not sure it is mentioned somewhere.

Comment 6 Aneta Šteflová Petrová 2017-01-04 15:37:18 UTC
Chapter 15. ID Views now explicitly states that ID views can be applied only to IdM clients.

Comment 9 Aneta Šteflová Petrová 2017-03-14 09:36:07 UTC
The update is now available on the Customer Portal.
