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 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2015-11-03 13:44:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

The popup menu User Account Database on the Identity & Authentication tab has item IPAv2. There is no such thing available on RHEL 7.2 -- the current version is 4.1, and it's called IdM (or Identity Management in Red Hat Enterprise Linux) in RHEL.

Also, authconfig-gtk correctly notices that ipa-client-install is not installed but then says "Install the freeipa-client package, which provides this file.". But that package is not available (it's called ipa-client on RHEL).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

authconfig-gtk-6.2.8-10.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run authconfig-gtk.
2. Try to setup identity and authentication to use IdM in RHEL.
3. Settle for IPAv2 and follow the guidance about ipa-client-install, run yum install -y freeipa-client.

Actual results:

Only IPAv2 is listed which is not vary intuitive. There is also FreeIPA there but that does not seem correct either -- see bug 1277507.

The yum then fails with

No package freeipa-client available.
Error: Nothing to do

Expected results:

Menu item is called "IdM/FreeIPA" or something similar which does not have "v2" in its name and also promotes IdM.

The package name recommented to be installed is ipa-client.

Comment 3 Pavel Březina 2017-01-13 10:57:39 UTC 
authconfig-gtk is currently being discontinued in upstream and we do not plan to fix any ipa related issue in authconfig-gtk. Please, use ipa-client-install instead.
