As part of negative testing when I add/delete/mod/show/find a automountkey with
empty automountmap name I see the error message as 'automountmapautomountmapname'.

[root@bumblebee auto]# ipa automountkey-add pune

Accepting ticket. It looks like generic issue with the way parameters are treated in hierarchical objects. When RequirementError is raised in validate(), it uses self.cli_name or self.name of the parameter. For inherited parameters the string passed to RequirementError constructor should be defined a bit smarter -- after all, it is used later only for visualization purposes.

Debugged a bit further. This happens due to the fact that parameters don't have context set in their environment (i.e. self.env.context is None), therefore RequirementError gets self.name instead of self.cli_name.

Patch is posted to freeipa-devel@ for discussion.

There are several concerns on scale of changes needed. Though original issues are in error messages, the change would affect all IPA framework which means we need more time to work through all consequences. Moving to 2.1.1.

Updated patch posted for review.
