Hi!

A little background:
https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg31815.html

Trying to add new user from webadmin gives:
2016-04-18 12:19:14,448 INFO  [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.aaa.AddUserCommand] (default task-10) [53227bd6] Running command: AddUserCommand internal: false. Entities affected :  ID: aaa00000-0000-0000-0000-123456789aaa Type: SystemAction group MANIPULATE_USERS with role type ADMIN
2016-04-18 12:19:14,466 INFO  [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (default task-10) [53227bd6] Correlation ID: 53227bd6, Call Stack: null, Custom Event ID: -1, Message: User 'Firstname.Lastname at foo.bar' was added successfully to the system.

The user is then found as 'Firstname.Lastname at foo.bar@baz.foo.bar'
under Users tab. Also possible to find user with api:
https://engine-address.foo.bar/ovirt-engine/api/users?search=Firstname
...
<user_name>Firstname.Lastname at foo.bar@baz.foo.bar</user_name>
...

But removing the user and trying to add it again with e.g. Python
fails:

status: 404
reason: Not Found
detail: Entity not found: ADUSER at baz.foo.bar:: username=Firstname.Lastname at foo.bar

The code, previously working with the now deprecated engine-manage-
domains, except PRINCIPAL_NAME was just SAM_ACCOUNT_NAME without
SUFFIX:

DOMAIN_NAME = 'baz.foo.bar'
SUFFIX = '@foo.bar'

try:
    domain = api.domains.get(name='%s' % (DOMAIN_NAME))
    userparams = params.User()
    userparams.set_user_name('%s%s' % (PRINCIPAL_NAME,SUFFIX))
    userparams.set_domain(domain)
    api.users.add(userparams)
except Exception as e:
    print e

Also tried with SUFFIX = '@foo.bar at baz.foo.bar', as that´s what the
user is called after creation, fails as well.

Am I "holding it wrong" or is this a bug?

/K
