How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Satellite 6
2. Run katello-configure command in active directory mode
3. Log in to katello shell
#katello -u $user -p $pass shell
4. Attempt to add a new user (ldap user)

#user create
Usage:   <options> user create <options>
katello: errors:
1) Option --username is required; please see --help
2) Option --password is required; please see --help
3) Option --email is required; please see --help

#user create --username=$user --password=$pass --email=$email
Successfully created user [ $user ]


Actual results:
1. Note that CLI mandates entering password and email for the new user but the web ui does not ask for password/email when adding a ldap user in katello
2. Although CLI gets username/password, this information is not useful in ldap mode.  Also, the user cannot view/update them anywhere in the system 

Expected results:
Web UI and CLI should work consistenly in the new user creation in ldap mode

Comment 3 Hayk Hovsepyan 2013-08-16 10:43:12 UTC

And if I provide "username" and "password" in "user create" it says:
"Validation failed: Username does not exist in your current LDAP system. Please choose a different user, or contact your LDAP administrator if you think this message is in error." but should say that providing that parameters is wrong.

Comment 4 Hayk Hovsepyan 2013-08-16 13:15:13 UTC

It still mandates "username" and "password" parameters while creating user.
