Comment 6 Kaleem 2012-04-17 11:43:24 UTC

Verified.

ipa-server version:
[root@ipa63server ~]# rpm -q ipa-server
ipa-server-2.2.0-9.el6.x86_64
[root@ipa63server ~]#

Now proper error message is displayed when empty --revocation-reason is provided.

[root@ipa63server ~]# ipa cert_revoke 5 --revocation-reason=
ipa: ERROR: 'revocation_reason' is required
[root@ipa63server ~]#
