Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 1.0.0+, the import path changed from `freeipa` to `freeipa.client`. Old code using `from freeipa import FreeIPA` will break.

fix

Use `from freeipa.client import FreeIPA`

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe `user_find` and similar methods return a list of dicts, not a single object. Common mistake: treating the result as a single user.

fix

Access the first element: `users = client.user_find('admin'); user = users[0] if users else None`

affects: all

deprecatedThe `password` parameter in the constructor is deprecated since version 1.0.8. Use `password` as a keyword argument to the individual method calls instead.

fix

Pass password when calling methods: `client.user_find('admin', password='secret')`

affects: >=1.0.8
