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 RHBA-2012:0819 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE ipa bug fix and enhancement update 2012-06-19 20:34:17 UTC

Description Namita Soman 2011-09-27 12:28:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
Running the command below more than once:
ipa sudorule-add-user --users=user1,user2 SudoRule1
where user1 is an IPA user, and user2 is an external user
gives different errors for the two users.

For the IPA user - error is - 
member user: user1: This entry is already a member
but for the external user, error is -
member user: user2: no such entry

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

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add User user1, and a sudo rule SudoRule1
2. Run: ipa sudorule-add-user --users=user1,user2 SudoRule1
3. Run the command again

  
Actual results:
indicates user1 is already a member, but for user2 - that "no such entry"

Expected results:
indicate both users are members already

Additional info:
This is the error thrown in UI as well, and can be confusing.
