[Freeipa-devel] Mapping of CLI attributes to LDAP attributes
Hi, I've been thinking about the concept of mapping CLI attributes to LDAP attributes (ticket #447) and I'd like to get a second opinion. The most simple solution would be to add this functionality to existing help. For the sake of lucidity, it should be hidden by default. To achieve this a new parameter (e.g. --fullhelp) would be created. The question now is if this approach is suitable for WebUI and whether it is even needed for WebUI. Another approach might be to create new command, e.g. mapping-show, which would take one argument - either name of LDAP object for which we want to show all mappings or (better) directly a command. Here are examples how it could be invoked: ipa mapping-show user/ ipa mapping-show user-add ipa mapping-show hbacrule / ipa mapping-show hbacrule-add So these are my ideas. Some questions? Comments? Other ideas? I welcome any input. -- Thank you Jan Zeleny Red Hat Software Engineer Brno, Czech Republic ___ Freeipa-devel mailing list Freeipa-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel

The second is fairly similar to the metadata call we use for the WebUI ___ Freeipa-devel mailing list Freeipa-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel
