Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by pvoborni.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1278426

Description of problem:
I think there should be a better error message when invalid or empty option
used with --ca-signinig-algorithm option.

[root@dhcp207-229 ~]# ipa-server-install --setup-dns --forwarder=10.65.201.89
-r TESTRELM.TEST -a xxxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxx --external-ca -U
--ca-signing-algorithm=invalid
Usage: ipa-server-install [options]

ipa-server-install: error: option --ca-signing-algorithm: invalid choice
'invalid' (choose from s, e, t, (, [, ', S, H, A, 2, 5, 6, w, i, t, h, R, S, A,
