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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2011:1533 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: ipa security and bug fix update 2011-12-06 01:23:31 UTC

Description Namita Soman 2011-09-26 13:29:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
In HBAC Rules, when a category is set to 'all', the entries in that category are not deleted.
Similar behaviour in Sudo Rules.

In HBAC, behaviour seen:
I have a user added in 'Who' Section. 
Then change radiobutton to 'Anyone'.
When I click on 'Update', the listed users are not deleted. In ipa-server-2.1.1-4.el6.x86_64 - I get the error below, which indicates, I'd have to delete it first before changing the setting
Operations Error - user category cannot be set to 'all' while there are allowed users

In Sudo, behaviour is different:
I have a user added in 'Who' Section. 
Then change radiobutton to 'Anyone'.
When I click on 'Update', the listed users are not deleted. And no error is thrown.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.1.1-4.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add an HBAC Rule
2. Add a user in 'Who' Section. 
3. Then change radiobutton to 'Anyone'.
4. click on 'Update'

5.Repeat same steps as above with Sudo Rules  


Actual results:
For HBAC Rules, error thrown:
Operations Error - user category cannot be set to 'all' while there are allowed users
For Sudo Rules, no error thrown

Expected results:
users in that category should be deleted - for both HBAC and Sudo rules

Additional info:
Discussed this with Endi, and his response:
The UI has a code that removes the users when you set the category to
'all'. Sometime ago there was a regression that caused that code to be
skipped, but it exposed a problem on the server side:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1440
Recently the regression has been fixed, so in the UI you should not see
this problem anymore, but it still exists if you use CLI. The UI should
now work like described in #43.

//where #43 is his feedback review to my tests, and it said - 
>> 43. In HBACTests we could verify that when a category is set to 'all'
>> the entries in that category are deleted.

Comment 6 Namita Soman 2011-10-11 14:18:55 UTC 
Verified using ipa-server-2.1.2-2.el6.x86_64
