"max life" label used for same field
I think this is a duplicate bug of ... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=718015 this is a WebUI bug report. bug 718015 is command line bug report. Upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1676 (In reply to comment #4) > this is a WebUI bug report. > bug 718015 is command line bug report. The WebUI gets its errors from the same place as the command-line. (In reply to comment #6) > (In reply to comment #4) > > this is a WebUI bug report. > > bug 718015 is command line bug report. > > The WebUI gets its errors from the same place as the command-line. Hence, a duplicate of bug 718015 ... Marking as fixed upstream: master: 950a5da34d3b89ae23cf8834d501233bda831f9e ipa-2-1: a6cf44bd6538788a20fd6021b802443d4b0c63d9 I will leave it up to Rob if he wants to close this as duplicate. Verified using ipa-server-2.1.3-6.el6.x86_64 If "abc" is entered, a red error is indicated below that says - Must be an integer If update is hit in spite of this error - get message - Validation error - Input form contains invalid or missing values. With -1, the error in red says - Minimum value is 1, and hitting Update throws same error as above. And same behaviour for Password policy and Kerberos Ticket policy. No specific reference to the field...so no inconsistency in error message in UI

Created attachment 518916 [details] krbmaxpwdlife used for "max life" Description of problem: The error msg is not consistent for similar type of error. Please check screen shot for details. In short: This error appears under "Policy"->"Password Policy" When user edits "Max lifetime (days):", (1) if user enter non-integer such as "abc" and click "Update", the error dialog says "invalid 'krbmaxpwdlife': must be an integer" (2) if user enter "-1" , and click "Update", the error dialog says "invalid 'maxlife': must be at least 0" We should not use different label (krbmaxpwdlife and maxlife) refer to same text field. The same type of error found for all fields under "Password policy" In addition to "Password policy", Kerberos ticket policy has same type of error Label "maxrenew" and "krbmaxrenewableage" used for same field "Max renew" There might be more such type of error in other areas.
