#466 ipa config-show --all output is confusing
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by dpal.

[yi@works4me ipa-config]$ ipa config-show --all
  dn: cn=ipaconfig,cn=etc,dc=sjc,dc=redhat,dc=com
  Max username length: 8
  Home directory base: /home
  Default shell: /bin/sh
  Default users group: ipausers
  Default e-mail domain: sjc.redhat.com
  Search time limit: 2
  Search size limit: 0
  User search fields: uid,givenname,sn,telephonenumber,ou,title
  Group search fields: cn,description
  Migration mode: FALSE
  Certificate Subject base: O=IPA
  aci: (targetfilter = "(objectClass=ipaGuiConfig)")(targetattr != "aci")(version 3.0;acl "Admins can change GUI config"; allow (read, search, compare, write) groupdn = "ldap:///cn=admins,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=sjc,dc=redhat,dc=com";)
  cn: ipaConfig
  ipagroupobjectclasses: top, groupofnames, nestedgroup, ipausergroup, ipaobject
  ipapwdexpadvnotify: 4
  ipauserobjectclasses: top, person, organizationalperson, inetorgperson, inetuser, posixaccount, krbprincipalaux, krbticketpolicyaux, radiusprofile, ipaobject
  objectclass: nsContainer, top, ipaGuiConfig

The output is confusing and needs to be cleaned up.

Rob suggested:
We should add labels for cn, ipagroupobjectclasses, ipapwdexpadvnotify and ipauserobjectclasses.

We should probably relocate the aci to cn=etc so it doesn't show in the --all output. I don't want to suppress it because --all means everything, but it could be confusing for that enterprising user that is hunting around.


I'm dropping making subject base configurable. It just makes it seem like this is actually possible when it isn't (at least not this trivially).

Moved the aci one level higher.

I'm leaving cn as it is. there is nothing to show for it. --all is very close to an LDAP query, it is what it is.
