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.

The guide does not mention that ID views cannot be applied to IdM servers.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1404770 +++

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5662

The FreeIPA server itself only supports the default ID View, it does not work with customized views for host groups.

The Web UI/CLI should be extended with a validation, to forbid adding FreeIPA servers to the unsupported views. The validator would avoid user confusion when the custom ID View is not working.

Could we solve this also by admonition to
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/id-views-different.html
and mentioned that ID View cannot be applied to IPA servers? I am not sure it is mentioned somewhere.

Chapter 15. ID Views now explicitly states that ID views can be applied only to IdM clients.

The update is now available on the Customer Portal.
