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.
