Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
Displaying help for the IdM command-line interface no longer takes unexpectedly long
When the user executes the *ipa* utility with the "--help" option, *ipa* gathers the required information from plug-ins and commands. Previously, the plug-ins and commands were Python modules. With this release, *ipa* generates the plug-ins and commands based on a schema downloaded from the server.
Because of this, displaying the help sometimes took significantly longer than in the previous version of Identity Management (IdM), especially if the help included lists of topics and commands. This bug has been fixed, which reduces the time required to execute *ipa* with "--help".
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/6048
executing `ipa help <anything>` takes 6+ seconds. This is a performance regression caused by thin client effort.
`ipa help` should be at least as quick(1-2s?) as in versions prior 4.4. Ideally faster.
IPA-server-version: ipa-server-4.4.0-11.el7.x86_64
Verified the bug on the basis of following steps:
1. Verified that performance of 'ipa help commands' is significantly improved with latest ipa server version and corresponding regression issue mentioned in description is not observed.
2. Kindly refer the below console output:
==========
RHEl7.3
==========
#rpm -q ipa-server && time ipa help commands 1>/dev/null
ipa-server-4.4.0-10.el7.x86_64
real 0m0.724s
user 0m0.380s
sys 0m0.039s
==========
RHEL7.2.z
