Description Stephen Gallagher 2009-12-21 18:51:33 UTC
Description of problem:
Options for configuring the SSSD are displayed empty when left at their defaults. To be less confusing to users, they should be presented with <DEFAULT> or some other (display-only) value that shows that they are unset.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
authconfig-6.0.0-2.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
Create or edit an SSSD configuration
  
Actual results:
Any value that hasn't been explicitly set is left blank. This gives users the impression that all entries are mandatory.

Expected results:
Entries that have not been explicitly set should indicate in some reasonable manner that they are currently set at their defaults (and there should also be a button to restore them to this value)

Additional info:
In a future version of the SSSDConfig API, each potential option will contain a flag to note whether it MUST be changed from the default (e.g. server name) for the domain to function. These entries SHOULD appear blank once this functionality is available.

Comment 1 Stephen Gallagher 2009-12-21 18:57:08 UTC
SSSD bug https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/349 has been opened to address the mandatory flag needs.

Comment 2 Stephen Gallagher 2010-03-11 14:00:27 UTC
Authconfig is being redesigned to have a more sensible interface. This bug is no longer relevant.
