Fixed In Version: ipa-4.2.0-15.el7_2.4
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
If the "skip_version_check" option was enabled, the IdM client identified itself as a client of IdM API version 2.51 to the IdM server. When the IdM API version of the IdM server was earlier than 2.51, the "skip_version_check" option on the client had no effect. Consequently, all API calls failed with an incompatible version error. With this update, if the "skip_version_check" option is enabled, the IdM client is identified as a client of IdM API version 2.0 to the IdM server, and the API calls no longer fail in the described scenario.
