Description Deon Ballard 2012-01-18 18:56:51 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #782873 +++

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1929

Adding a --delattr option will round out multi-valued attribute manipulation. This will automatically appear in all commands that currently support setattr/addattr.

It will be evaluated last, after all sets and adds. This means that an add and delete in the same operation is a no-op, e.g.

ipa user-mod --addattr=objectclass=person --delattr=objectclass=person

This will make no changes.
