Description Michael Gregg 2013-10-17 00:21:29 UTC

Description of problem:
Possible regression of BZ767725

running nsupdate no longer seems to update reverse entries when a forward is changed. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-3.3.2-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
Copy the reproduction steps from BZ767725 comment 4 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767725#c4

Actual results:
Verify starting addresses:
:: [   PASS   ] :: Running: ipa dnsrecord-find testrelm.com ipaqavmg > /tmp/tmp.wMBAiromGQ/output.txt (Expected 0, got 0)
  Record name: ipaqavmg
  A record: 10.16.98.192
  SSHFP record: 1 1 17EFB60E0C470439F8BDBEEA4606E8F4A779383C, 1 2 4640F0F926338B2013BC37FC09CAB10EE6AE5AD05AC0F1140AF79DD5 50791770
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 1
----------------------------
ipa dnsrecord-find 98.16.10.in-addr.arpa. 192 > /tmp/tmp.wMBAiromGQ/output.txt (Expected 0, got 0)
  Record name: 192
  PTR record: ipaqavmg.testrelm.com.
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 1
----------------------------

Change records with this input to nsupdate:
zone testrelm.com
update delete ipaqavmg.testrelm.com IN A 
update add ipaqavmg.testrelm.com 86400 IN A 10.16.98.193 
send

Verify that the record changed:
ipa dnsrecord-find testrelm.com ipaqavmg 
  Record name: ipaqavmg
  A record: 10.16.98.193
  SSHFP record: 1 1 17EFB60E0C470439F8BDBEEA4606E8F4A779383C, 1 2 4640F0F926338B2013BC37FC09CAB10EE6AE5AD05AC0F1140AF79DD5 50791770
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 1
----------------------------

ipa dnsrecord-find 98.16.10.in-addr.arpa. 193
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 0



Expected results:
The forward changed, but not the reverse.

Additional info:
This bug may be better filed against another component.

This test worked in rhel 6. I am unsure when the behaviour changed.

Comment 2 Martin Kosek 2013-10-17 08:15:38 UTC

Petr, can you please advise from bind-dyndb-ldap POV? I am not aware of any related change in IPA DNS module.

Comment 3 Petr Spacek 2013-10-17 10:14:59 UTC

There were some changes in bind-dyndb-bind, mainly fixes about IPv6 and some race conditions, so the bug could be there.

Gregg, I don't see any information about your configuration nor any information from logs.

Please make sure that everything is configured according to:
https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/wiki/BIND9/SyncPTR

Please check /var/log/messages and post any error messages to this bug.

My guess is that the testing data doesn't pass validation in bind-dyndb-ldap. See section "Existing values in A/AAAA and PTR records matches." in the document linked above.

Comment 4 Michael Gregg 2013-10-17 18:14:21 UTC

Petr, your guess was correct, allow-sync-ptr was not configured for the default zone in IPA. 

After I ran "ipa dnszone-mod testrelm.com. --allow-sync-ptr=TRUE", my tests started passing. 

So, is this a ipa bug? I need to verify that this is happening, but it's looking like the allow-sync-ptr flag is not getting set upon running ipa-server-install --setup-dns

Comment 5 Michael Gregg 2013-10-18 00:37:46 UTC

For some reason, ptr sync is not enabled on my default domain during these tests. I am not sure why. It seems to be set on other ipa machines around here. 

Am I right in assuming that this flag should be set on IPA domains?

My config before setting allow-sync-ptr flag:

  dn: idnsname=testrelm.com,cn=dns,dc=testrelm,dc=com
  Zone name: testrelm.com
  Authoritative nameserver: mgmt3.testrelm.com.

  SOA refresh: 3600
  SOA retry: 900
  SOA expire: 1209600
  SOA minimum: 3600
  BIND update policy: grant TESTRELM.COM krb5-self * A; grant TESTRELM.COM krb5-self * AAAA; grant TESTRELM.COM krb5-self * SSHFP;
  Active zone: TRUE

  Allow query: any;
  Allow transfer: none;
  nsrecord: mgmt3.testrelm.com., cloud-qe-7.testrelm.com.

Comment 6 Petr Spacek 2013-10-18 07:13:06 UTC

AFAIK PTR record synchronization always has to be enabled manually. I don't think that there was a change in this area.

Namita did the same test for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010396 (RHEL 6) and the behaviour was the same. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010396#c8 step "2".
