Some of our tests used unintended extra options, or options with
misspelled, wrongly copy-pasted or otherwise bad names. These are
ignored, so the intended argument was treated as missing. The test
itself can still pass but may be rendered ineffective or fragile.
This only fixes those of such errors that appear in the test suite.
Fixing code in the framework and actual rejecting of unknown
arguments is deferred for later (ticket #2509).
New version of SSSD begins ignoring sourcehost value of HBAC rules by
default. In order to match this behaviour the sourcehost option in
hbactest is optional now, but the value of sourcehost is ignored in all
rules. Every rule's sourcehost value is set to 'ALL' what turns sourchost
value comparation off. If srchost option is used, warning is displayed to
inform the user about changes. Text of plugin help was also updated.
Also the unit tests for hbactest plugin were updated. Every test was
doubled. The second ones test the plugin without sourcehost option. They
are supposed to have the same result.

HBAC rules control who can access what services on what hosts and from where.
You can use HBAC to control which users or groups on a source host can
access a service, or group of services, on a target host.
Since applying HBAC rules implies use of a production environment,
this plugin aims to provide simulation of HBAC rules evaluation without
having access to the production environment.
Test user coming from source host to a service on a named host against
existing enabled rules.
ipa hbactest --user= --srchost= --host= --service=
[--rules=rules-list] [--nodetail] [--enabled] [--disabled]
--user, --srchost, --host, and --service are mandatory, others are optional.
If --rules is specified simulate enabling of the specified rules and test
the login of the user using only these rules.
If --enabled is specified, all enabled HBAC rules will be added to simulation
If --disabled is specified, all disabled HBAC rules will be added to simulation
If --nodetail is specified, do not return information about rules matched/not matched.
If both --rules and --enabled are specified, apply simulation to --rules _and_
all IPA enabled rules.
If no --rules specified, simulation is run against all IPA enabled rules.
EXAMPLES:
1. Use all enabled HBAC rules in IPA database to simulate:
$ ipa hbactest --user=a1a --srchost=foo --host=bar --service=ssh
--------------------
Access granted: True
--------------------
notmatched: my-second-rule
notmatched: my-third-rule
notmatched: myrule
matched: allow_all
2. Disable detailed summary of how rules were applied:
$ ipa hbactest --user=a1a --srchost=foo --host=bar --service=ssh --nodetail
--------------------
Access granted: True
--------------------
3. Test explicitly specified HBAC rules:
$ ipa hbactest --user=a1a --srchost=foo --host=bar --service=ssh --rules=my-second-rule,myrule
---------------------
Access granted: False
---------------------
notmatched: my-second-rule
notmatched: myrule
4. Use all enabled HBAC rules in IPA database + explicitly specified rules:
$ ipa hbactest --user=a1a --srchost=foo --host=bar --service=ssh --rules=my-second-rule,myrule --enabled
--------------------
Access granted: True
--------------------
notmatched: my-second-rule
notmatched: my-third-rule
notmatched: myrule
matched: allow_all
5. Test all disabled HBAC rules in IPA database:
$ ipa hbactest --user=a1a --srchost=foo --host=bar --service=ssh --disabled
---------------------
Access granted: False
---------------------
notmatched: new-rule
6. Test all disabled HBAC rules in IPA database + explicitly specified rules:
$ ipa hbactest --user=a1a --srchost=foo --host=bar --service=ssh --rules=my-second-rule,myrule --disabled
---------------------
Access granted: False
---------------------
notmatched: my-second-rule
notmatched: my-third-rule
notmatched: myrule
7. Test all (enabled and disabled) HBAC rules in IPA database:
$ ipa hbactest --user=a1a --srchost=foo --host=bar --service=ssh --enabled --disabled
--------------------
Access granted: True
--------------------
notmatched: my-second-rule
notmatched: my-third-rule
notmatched: myrule
notmatched: new-rule
matched: allow_all
Only rules existing in IPA database are tested. They may be in enabled or
disabled disabled state.
Specifying them through --rules option explicitly enables them only in
simulation run.
Specifying non-existing rules will not grant access and report non-existing
rules in output.
