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.
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4881
The raw idea is:
- Provide a command to define a new attribute (and possibly mark this attribute with `X-USER-ADDED` mark)
- Provide a command to define auxiliary object class made from user-added attributes
- Mark the new object class with some marker like `X-USER-ADDED` or something else (it maybe not necessary)
Then:
- User can add the auxiliary object class to default list of object classes for existing object
- WebUI will auto-generate additional editor fields for attributes in these
- The auxiliary will be added on modification if user specified non-empty value for at least one new attribute
- CLI commands can handle new attributes with `--setattr` options
Other problems - maybe phase 2 material:
- Indexes (can be deferred)
The feature doesn't have high enough priority in comparison to other IdM bugs/RFEs for 7.4. Moving to next release. Fixing there will depend on team capacity and future prioritization.
Once the upstream community implements this feature it will be pulled into a corresponding Red Hat Enterprise Linux release following the corresponding schedules.
From now on this issue will be tracked in the community issue tracker only.
Closing this BZ.
