From https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/pull/247#issuecomment-260944392

ipa env gets env vars from the server. ipa show_env gets only local settings. For example ipa env prints the LDAPI unix socket address for ldap_uri. Once the API schema bug is fixed, show_env won't even need a running server. show_env also prints the settings in a shell source compatible way.

master:

• 1166fbc Add 'ipa localenv' subcommand

This command is entirely redundant. ipa env is supposed to return local settings unless executed with --server. It currently doesn't, but that's a bug which can and should be fixed.

Please revert this patch and fix the env command.

NACK

• Please don't hijack a closed ticket and please don't turn a feature request into a bug report.
• You can't change the actual meaning of an API call. Although it is documented to return local env, at least one place in FreeIPA depends on the fact that the env plugin returns remote env settings: https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/blob/master/ipaserver/install/server/replicainstall.py#L503

Reopening a ticket in an unreleased milestone is not hijacking. Obviously all of the affected code needs to be fixed.

We don't close reopened tickets at will, we have ticket triage to decide that. Once again, please follow our process.

env command was fixed to behave as either local or RPC-forwarded call depending on presence of --server option. local-env patch has thus been reverted.
