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.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. we don't have -b option in the help though we have to use it while creating the user -
[root@server-rhel8 ds]# dsidm slapd-slapd-6 user create --help
usage: dsidm instance user create [-h] [--uid [UID]] [--cn [CN]]
                                  [--displayName [DISPLAYNAME]]
                                  [--uidNumber [UIDNUMBER]]
                                  [--gidNumber [GIDNUMBER]]
                                  [--homeDirectory [HOMEDIRECTORY]]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --uid [UID]           Value of uid
  --cn [CN]             Value of cn
  --displayName [DISPLAYNAME]
                        Value of displayName

                        Value of gidNumber
  --homeDirectory [HOMEDIRECTORY]
                        Value of homeDirectory


[root@server-rhel8 ds]# dsidm  -v slapd-slapd-6 user create --uid tuser7 --cn tuser --displayName tuser --uidNumber 1007 --gidNumber 1007  --homeDirectory /home/tuser7

Sucessfully created tuser7

---------------------
2. Now there is another issue, when you specify wrong DN 

[root@server-rhel8 ds]# dsidm -b "dc=example,dc=com"  -v slapd-slapd-6 user create --uid tuser7 --cn tuser --displayName tuser --uidNumber 1007 --gidNumber 1007  --homeDirectory /home/tuser7

3. And a traceback if the user already exists
[root@server-rhel8 ds]# dsidm -b "dc=example,dc=com"  -v slapd-server-rhel8 user create --uid tuser7 --cn tuser --displayName tuser --uidNumber 1007 --gidNumber 1007  --homeDirectory /home/tuser7

Comment 2 mreynolds 2020-04-24 18:15:40 UTC 
Upstream ticket:
https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/issue/51050
Comment 3 mreynolds 2020-04-27 13:59:56 UTC 
There are no bug here.

Issue [1] - the basedn is a required parameter of dsidm, regardless of which subcommand you use.  This is correct although I can see where the confusion is coming from since the subcommand help does not list it, but the subcomanmd help is specific to the options needed for that subcommand.  To put things in perspective, you don't see the other required options needed by dsidm in the create user help either (e.g. bind DN and password).

Issue [2] - specifying the wrong instance name.  The tool is responding correctly, I'm not sure what is the problem here.

Issue [3] - user already exists.  The tool also correctly handles this case.

Closing bug..
