Hi,
With ipa-server 4.6.4-10.el7_6.2 on RHEL7, I see the following issue....
My host name is a bit long, of a form:
idm01.site01.poc.my.network.com
<
http://idm01.site01.poc.my.network.com>
I am installing a fresh new IPA server on this host, with DNS server.
Running ipa-server-install without arguments.
During installation I can specify the DNS zone to create.
If I specify
poc.my.network.com <
http://poc.my.network.com>, then I get
the following error:
ipapython.dnsutil: ERROR DNS query for
idm01.site01.poc.my.network.com
<
http://idm01.site01.poc.my.network.com>. 1 failed: All nameservers
failed to answer the query
idm01.site01.poc.my.network.com
<
http://idm01.site01.poc.my.network.com>. IN A: Server 127.0.0.1 UDP
port 53 answered SERVFAIL
I can see that the A record for the IPA server itself (idm01.site01)
wasn't created during installation.
But if I leave the default DNS zone (
site01.poc.my.network.com
<
http://site01.poc.my.network.com>), then everything works fine, the
record is created (the record name in that case is just idm01).
Of course, I can create the record manually, and it seems to work fine.
But is it expected?
Any other issues that I should expect with my non-default zone...?
Right, IPA isn't going to recursively fill in the missing zones for you.
Is there a particular reason you want to install this way?
