RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Gowrishankar Rajaiyan 2012-02-14 10:21:09 UTC
Description of problem:
Warning are displayed when srchost option is used in hbactest, and also warning messages are displayed even if the rule does not contain any source host. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.2.0-101.20120209T0933zgit52cf9d9.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a rule which has no sourcehost.
[root@sentinel ~]# ipa hbacrule-show rule1000 --all
  dn: ipauniqueid=2a75ad92-5722-11e1-b341-525400400b4a,cn=hbac,dc=lab,dc=eng,dc=pnq,dc=redhat,dc=com
  Rule name: rule1000
  Enabled: TRUE
  accessruletype: allow
  ipauniqueid: 2a75ad92-5722-11e1-b341-525400400b4a
  objectclass: ipaassociation, ipahbacrule
[root@sentinel ~]#

2. Execute hbactest against rule in Step 1
[root@sentinel ~]# ipa hbactest --user=user782927 --srchost=$HOSTNAME --host=$HOSTNAME --service=sshd --rule=rule1001
---------------------
Access granted: False
---------------------
  warning: Sourcehost value of rule "rule1001" is ignored       <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
  notmatched: rule1001
[root@sentinel ~]# 

  
Actual results:
Here the rule does not have any sourcehost, however, we display a warning stating that sourcehost value of the rule would be ignored.

Expected results:
No warning should be displayed if there exists no sourcehost in the rule even though --srchost option is specified for test request.

Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2012-02-14 13:54:13 UTC
The warning ONLY displays when --srchost is provided. It is independent of the rules. It tells the user that this option makes no difference (and is a big hint to not pass it any more).
