imagine these steps:
1.) create sudo rule like: /usr/bin/setfacl -m g:apache:rwx /home/www/* after some time you will need to enhance that with -R param to work recursive
2.) you have to delete this record
3.) create new record
4.) update command assignement in sudo command group, but only if you are lucky and you are using command groups(45 in my scenario). If not, you have to update all sudo rules manualy(hundred in my scenario).

Please consider if you can include it with rhel6.x (6.4) It makes my work on sudo and others entries incredible long. And yes i know that i can make update from cli. But cli is not everytime accesible. And also sorry for my english.

Thanks

Thanks Jiri for this note, we will reconsider including this ticket to RHEL 6.4.

Please keep in mind that this change depends on Bug 837356. We need to ensure referential integrity for objects like sudo otherwise sudo rule rename operation would cause more harm than good by leaving dangling references for example sudo command groups.

Unfortunately we do not have capacity to include it into the 6.4 release at this stage. But it will be in our next major release.

Major release, so you mean that is still planed up to 7.0 release?

It will be in 7.x but I can't say whether it will make 7.0 or will be deferred to 7.1 or even later. Please keep an eye on the upstream ticket.

This request is not too general. I do not think we would invest the resources to support rename with *all* FreeIPA objects, it is too costly without being bound to real world request (like this one).

I talked to Petr Vobornik, we will rather narrow down the request to the reported problem around SUDO commands - this will increase a chance it would be really done.
