Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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 Michael Gregg 2011-11-15 00:08:23 UTC

Description of problem:
This is a problem that popped up from running DS -> IPA migration tests. 
There are a few groups in DS that contain spaces in their names. 
These groups migrate over properly, but I am unable to delete the group from IPA.
I realize that a space in the group name isn't supported by IPA. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64
389-ds-base-1.2.9.14-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. migrate a group containing a space in it's name from DS 
2. kinit as admin
3. ipa group-del <group>
  
Actual results:
# ipa group-find hr\ managers
---------------
1 group matched
---------------
  Group name: HR Managers
  Description: People who can manage HR entries
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 1
----------------------------

[root@ipaqa64vmg ds-migration]# ipa group-del hr\ managers
ipa: ERROR: invalid 'group_name': may only include letters, numbers, _, -, . and $

Expected results:
Although I should not be able to create this group using IPA tools, I think that I should be able to delete the group with IPA tools.
