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.

Comment 3 Petr Vobornik 2016-07-08 12:12:34 UTC 
correct usage is:
   ipa help topics
   ipa help user
   
output:
"""
$ ipa group
ipa: ERROR: unknown command 'group'
"""

is actually correct.

The bug should be returned to its original state:
   ipa help otp
   ipa help otptoken
   ipa help otpconfig

don't return all expected commands.
Comment 4 Rob Crittenden 2016-07-08 12:40:43 UTC 
In at least 4.2 this would print the help out before displaying the unknown command error, I think that is what he is reporting. One could argue that the previous behavior was a bug.
Comment 5 Sudhir Menon 2016-07-08 12:56:34 UTC 
Rob,
Yes that is what i meant to say. And I also agree with Petr on how to run the command in correct way. i.e ipa help <commandname>
Comment 6 Petr Spacek 2016-07-12 10:53:22 UTC 
The very same problem applies to topics 'hbac', 'dns' (which contains only subset of commands). I would use to fix all of them because the code change will (likely) be the very same.

'sudo' is also affected, please fix on that too, thanks!

Fix is seen in ipa-server-4.4.0-4.el7.x86_64

Obseravtion:

1. When ipa help <commandname> is given, the help is displayed without any error.
2. When ipa <commandname> is given, the help is displayed which was not shown before.  Note the error will also be displayed along with the help
