[Freeipa-devel] Asking for help to add new options

[thierry bordaz]

Hello,

    Quite beginner in freeipa land, I am trying to add options to
    'user-add' sub-command but desperately failing to make it work.
    I did the following modification:

        diff --git a/ipalib/plugins/user.py b/ipalib/plugins/user.py
        index 9b21200..0c36e35 100644

                  ),
        +
        +
              )


    The command 'ipa user-add --help' succeeds giving me the correct
    help message. But when I try to add the user it fails:

        ipa user-add foo --to-stage --first=foo --last=foo
        ipa: ERROR: Unknown option: tostage


    This seems to occur because the frontend find this is a 'remaining'
    option.. but what does it means ?
    I tried to add the new options as internal options, or with
    different names, but it gives the same results.
    I know it is a very novice question, but I have really no idea I
    should fix it. Anyone know what I am missing ?

    regards
    thierry
