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 of problem:
The web UI has these three labels for group types: Normal, External, POSIX.

"Normal" is confusing because:
* It doesn't properly describe the group type (non-POSIX).
* What is actually considered normal? I would expect "normal" to mean "default", but the group type selected by default is actually "POSIX".


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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
For example, when adding a new user group:
1. User Groups - click Add.
2. The "Add User Groups" dialog shows the available group types.

Actual results:
"Normal"

Expected results:
"Non-POSIX" would work better - it's clearer and more descriptive. It would also be consistent with CLI.

Additional info:

Makes sense.

Agree. We can easily change it to 'Non-POSIX'. This was introduced in commit 44e86aa3bb7206991bbe1118ee3a35b6949b6ac9 .

Ipa-server: ipa-server-4.5.0-13.el7.x86_64


Verified that with latest version of IPA-server, on accessing path "Identity > Groups > Add" , we are now presented with following 3 group types:

Non-POSIX, External, POSIX. (See screenshot)

Thus marking the status of bug to "VERIFIED".
