To display all commands used to manage vaults and vault containers:

Vault Commands Fail with vault not found Error

Some commands require you to specify the owner or the type of the vault using the following options:
  • --user or --service specify the owner of the vault you want to view 
    $ ipa vault-show user_vault --user user
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • --shared specify that the vault you want to view is a shared vault
For example, if you attempt to view another user's vault without adding --user, IdM informs you it did not find the vault: 
[admin@server ~]$ ipa vault-show user_vault
ipa: ERROR: user_vault: vault not found
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
