Description	Flags
decent error message if default group not found	none

Description Rob Crittenden 2008-07-11 21:46:23 UTC

Description of problem:

When adding a user we attempt to add the user to the default user's group.

If the search for this group fails then adding the user will fail as well.

Currently ipa-adduser will fail with:

# ipa-adduser -f Test -l User testuser
* not found

We should at minimum provide a better error message

Comment 1 Simo Sorce 2008-07-12 15:28:17 UTC

Should we instead make ipausers undeletable ?

Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2008-07-14 12:34:37 UTC

No. There is no need to require that the group of "everyone" be ipausers.

He put in a perfectly legal group. The problem is that the add_user code assumes
the location in the DIT of the group and constructs the DN. What I will probably
do is store the DN of the default group instead, assuming it doesn't cause too
much grief with installation and I can figure out a way to handle both cases.

What I wanted to avoid is a search for the group whenever a user is added.

decent error message if default group not found

The wrong exception was being used to catch the LDAP not found.

Comment 5 Jenny Severance 2008-11-25 14:38:01 UTC

Fix Verified:

Can't delete default group via webgui or ipa-delgroup.  If you delete the group with ldapmodify and try to add a user - you get a descriptive error message.

[root@jennyv3 /]# ipa-adduser jack
First name: Jack
Last name: O'Lantern
The default group for new users, 'test', cannot be found.
[root@jennyv3 /]# ipa-finduser jack
No entries found for jack
