"dev-dec8-updated" but they arrive at the same place (4.9.6-10). It appears
that 4.9.6-6 has caused the issue. The issue being those attributes in Employee
Information section of the web page.

/usr/share/ipa/ui/js/plugins/myplugin/myplugin.js. I removing the custom plugin (from
dev-current), but that didn't fix the missing attributes on the web page. Maybe there
is some caching that I need to clear. Very well could be something from our custom
plugin, is there anything tricky to back it out?

I'm at a loss. The best I can suggest is to try the browser debugger to
see if you can tell what is happening. The data should be available
based on the cli (the ui uses the same interfaces).
As for removing it I think that removing the javascript, restarting
Apache and doing a force reload in the browser should do it.

Rob, this may surprise you, it did me.
I set out to create a brand new replica on our production cluster. My
intent was to disconnect it from the cluster and do tests. I was not
able to do make the replica, I kept getting errors running
ipa-replica-install. I saw:
ipa: ERROR: Certificate operation cannot be completed: Request failed with
status 403: Non-2xx response from CA REST API: 403. (403)
I had to fix this before I could continue. You are well aware of the
recent issue:
Bug 2006070 - Upgrades incorrectly add secret attribute to connectors
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2006070
(First, I found at least 4 threads on this mailing list directly
connected to this issue. I'm thankful!)
I saw that my VM clone (discussed above in the thread) that skipped over
ipa-server-4.9.6-6 update, only had secret= and did not have
requiredSecret=. I removed requiredSecret from a member of the
production cluster. PKI/certs worked! And low and behold, my web
interface now shows attribute values for Employee Type, Employee Number,
and Department Number. It also no longer shows the SMB section, like we
are used to.
(In our environment we don't make use of PKI functionality on our
clients yet, otherwise I'd probably notice this breakage much earlier.)
I'm hopeful this clears up all my issues. I wanted the list to know the
fix.
Thanks for you help!
