This patch provides new command, which will take another IPA command as
and argument and display attributes which given command takes and what
LDAP attributes are they mapped to.

When reviewing, please pay attention to line 39 of the patch (detection
of the 'webui' in param.excludes). I think this is the right approach,
but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks

nack.

I'm sending updated patch. Few comments:

The argument should be a Str, not Bytes.

Should I change it in class help then? That's where I copied this from.

I think so.


This will blow up as expected in the FIXME if an unknown command is
passed in.

Fixed, thanks.

Not to be pedantic but I think it should return a non-zero error code too on error.


ipa show-mappings user-show returns just 'rights'

If it was the acting correctly, it shouldn't be displayed at all, because it
is not LDAP based (and user-show doesn't take any other LDAP-based
arguments/options).

I'm just not sure how to do this with minimal changes. One option is to create
new flag denoting whether parameter is LDAP based or not and for each parameter
set it appropriately, but that is just too much effort for something that is
not that important. That's why I use the 'webui' flag to filter things at least
a little bit.

You should have the object Params list available, right? Can you use that to show at least some attributes?


Should it take a second arg or an option to lookup a specific
attribute/option pair?

Frankly I don't see any real benefit. I thought about it when Dmitri suggested
it, but commands don't take that many options - IMO it's not a problem to find
one in a list of ten.

Ok, that's true
