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).

Description of problem:
The change from bug 1211589 / ticket https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4768 introduced new option skip_version_check which is documented in man default.conf(5) as
skip_version_check <boolean>
Skip client vs. server API version checking. Can lead to errors/strange behavior when newer clients talk to older servers. Use with caution.
It works when used with RHEL 7.2 IPA client enrolled against (say) RHEL 7.1 server but does not work against RHEL 6 server.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-admintools-4.2.0-15.el7.x86_64
On server, ipa-server-3.0.0-47.el6.x86_64 is installed.
How reproducible:
Deterministic.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ipa user-find
2. ipa -e skip_version_check=1 user-find
Actual results:
# ipa user-find
ipa: ERROR: 2.156 client incompatible with 2.49 server at u'https://ipa.example.com/ipa/xml'
# ipa -e skip_version_check=1 user-find
ipa: ERROR: 2.51 client incompatible with 2.49 server at u'https://ipa.example.com/ipa/xml'
Expected results:
# ipa user-find
ipa: ERROR: 2.156 client incompatible with 2.49 server at u'https://ipa.example.com/ipa/xml'
# ipa -e skip_version_check=1 user-find
users listed, no error

With ipa-server-3.0.0-25.el6.x86_64 from RHEL 6.4 which reports API version 2.46, and when forcing the client version to that value,
# ipa user-find
still fails with
ipa: ERROR: Unknown option: no_members
with no incompatibility error.
With ipa-server-3.0.0-42.el6.x86_64 and ipa-server-3.0.0-47.el6.x86_64, the incompatibility error happens.
