Description Dmitri Pal 2012-06-05 13:44:34 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1079

This command fails, because the input args need to be space-separated:

ipa group-del group1,group2,group3 

However, the output of a successful command doesn't reflect the input:

Deleted group "group1,group2,group3"

It would probably be *easier* to adjust the output message, e.g.,
Deleted the following groups: group1 group2 group3

Having the input argument parser sort out comma-separation, ignore white space, etc., might be more troublesome. The original error was along the lines of:

ipa: ERROR: doceditors\: group not found

Keeping all this consistent would improve usability no end.

Comment 2 Martin Kosek 2016-02-19 12:04:09 UTC

Thank you taking your time and submitting this request for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The request was cloned to the upstream tracker long time ago (see link to the upstream ticket above), but it was unfortunately not given a priority neither in the upstream project, nor in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Given that this request is not planned for a close release, it is highly unlikely it will be fixed in this major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We are therefore closing the request as WONTFIX.

To request that Red Hat reconsiders the decision, please reopen the Bugzilla with the help of Red Hat Customer Service and provide additional business and/or technical details about it's importance to you. Please note that you can still track this request or even offer help in the referred upstream Trac ticket to expedite the solution.
