Since some LDAP attributes have their cli_name value defined, so they can be more user friendly, it can be difficult for user to find out which attributes do the parameteres given to CLI really represent. This patch provides new command, which will take another IPA command as and argument and display attributes which given command takes and what LDAP attributes are they mapped to.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/447 When reviewing, please pay attention to line 39 of the patch (detection of the 'webui' in param.excludes). I think this is the right approach, but I'm not 100% sure. Thanks Jan
