Closed: fixed
Reopen Issue

Issue

When adding (user-add) or modifying (user-mod) a user and using the option --idp if the IdP name is not found the output is ipa: ERROR: no such entry, which is not descriptive and hard to understand if several options are used at once.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. ipa user-add someuser --idp inexistent_idp

Actual behavior

The error message ipa: ERROR: no such entry is given.

Expected behavior

A better message, relating the error with an inexistent IdP should be provided.

Version/Release/Distribution

Affects all 4.10+ releases of FreeIPA
