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.

Description of problem:
Activate or deactivate a user in the User - Edit page, updates if the user's account is disabled or not. 
So when i click on the Update btn after making this change - a message is thrown - no modifications to be performed
I can click on "back to list" cleanly and the user's is correctly enabled or disabled.

But it is conflicting with the normal flow - where a user makes the change to the account, clicks on Update to save the change made.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.0.99-1.20110616T2130zgitdbeae4e.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ipa user-find will indicate a new user added has:
  Account disabled: False
2. Edit this user
2. Click on : Account disabled: Active: Click to Deactivate
3. Save this change by clicking on "update"
  
Actual results:
Error thrown:
no modifications to be performed
The account was already disabled when i clicked on "Account disabled: Active: Click to Deactivate"

Expected results:
Allow Update with no errors, and then save the user's state of account.

master: c27a6de2a601f6507b872978e508a29baa8c7b52

Verifed using ipa-server-2.1.2-2.el6.x86_64
Now when activating or deactivating a user, a message is displayed that the change will take effect immediately, and the Update button remains disabled

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
    
    New Contents:
Cause: When activating or deactivating a user in the Web UI the user is updated without having to click the Update button.
Consequence: This is confusing because updating any other attribute requires the end-user to click a button to accept the change.
Fix: A message box is displayed indicating the the change is going into effect immediately.
Result: The end-user is notified of the change.
