Broken plugin for FreeIPA Help Please

[Günther J. Niederwimmer]

Hello FreeIPA list,

I got the ipa module freeipa-user-mailalternateaddress-master from github, 
unfortunately the paths have apparently changed (version 9.2) with the IPA 
version 4.10.1 API version 2.251 one of YOU can change the script so that 
the files are back in the right PATHS come. I can't tell if it still works, 
but it's worth a try!

Thanks for replies and help.

I'm not familiar with the plugin. Is it coming from a 3rd party? Where 
did you get the code from, how did you install it, and what the error 
message you are getting?

The Error Message are now;

./install.sh 
'./user_mailalternateaddress_4.6.js' -> '/usr/share/ipa/ui/js/plugins/
user_mailalternateaddress/us
er_mailalternateaddress.js' 
'./user_mailalternateaddress_4.6.py' -> '/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ipaserver/
plugins/user_
mailalternateaddress.py' 
cp: reguläre Datei '/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ipaserver/plugins/
user_mailalternateaddress.
py' kann nicht angelegt werden: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

yes it is 3rd party Plugin to aktivate mailAlternatAddress

the source is from

https://github.com/pdf/freeipa-user-mailalternateaddress%5B1]
but today this project is stopped :-(

You mentioned "IPA" and "version 9.2". Are you using IPA on RHEL 9.2? In 
that case the path is wrong. On RHEL 9, IPA uses Python 3.9 from the 
system, not 3.11.

My code at https://github.com/fedora-infra/freeipa-fas/ has an 
install.sh that detects the correct path on RHEL 9. You could also adopt 
the RPM spec file from the project to build a proper RPM package in your 
personal COPR repo.

HTH,

Christian
