Description ΒΆ

From single-sign-on: davido:> If you create a user with the webUI, an email is mandatory. Currently it defaults to <login>@foo.bar

rob: I can't reproduce the foo.bar behavior. Can you make a bug and assign it to Simo? He's handling that part of the configuration.

Latest info: I tested this again with build FC7/i386/2007-12-07_03_01-build/dist and foo.bar has been replaced by my.domain.

Second part: davido:> If you use the cli, no email is required, and you can then view that user in the webUI, no email in sight.

rob: E-mail has already been removed as a required field. The default mail domain should probably be a configuration option stored in cn=ipaconfig. I'll file a task on that.

Latest info: Email is still required. I tried me@here but that was rejected. I tried me and that was ok. I open the admin user to test editing some other fields, but then I couldn't do "Update User" until I added an email address. Output from ipa_error.log for the test user below:

Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2008-01-30 03:11:35 UTC
E-mail is no longer required in the UI.



Comment 5 Suzanne Hillman 2008-04-08 20:57:38 UTC
Verified that email is not required in either CLI or Web UI as of
20080407.el5ipa build (and long before that one).
