Issue

I follow the "how to" guide that you recommend to create a user and set custom attributes => https://blog.cubieserver.de/2018/synology-nas-samba-nfs-and-kerberos-with-freeipa-ldap/
Is it not possible to put several arguments ?
Is there something I'm doing wrong ?

Steps to Reproduce

1.$ ipa user-add frankdoe --first=Frank --last=Doe --password --addattr=sambaSID=S-1-5-21-122 --addattr=sambaAcctFlags=[U ]

Actual behavior

ipa: ERROR: la commande « user_add » prend au plus 1 argument

Expected behavior

The account should be created with custom attributes

Version/Release/Distribution

The brackets are being interpreted by the shell in sambaAcctFlags. Quote them:

$ ipa user-add frankdoe --first=Frank --last=Doe --password --addattr=sambaSID=S-1-5-21-122 --addattr=sambaAcctFlags="[U ]"
