Fixed In Version: ipa-4.2.0-16.el7 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: IPA server installation with externally signed CA certificate is split into two command runs. Options provided to the first run are stored and later restored in second run. Option '--setup-dns' was not stored in the end of the first run. Consequence: Default value (false) of option '--setup-dns' was used in second run of IPA server installer. DNS server was not configured together with IPA server. Fix: Values of all provided options are stored between installer runs. Result: Second run of IPA server respects values of previously provided options.

Description Petr Vobornik 2016-01-25 16:25:35 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5556

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product ''Fedora''): [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1292099 Bug 1292099]

{{{
If I run

        ipa-server-install -n example.com -r EXAMPLE.COM --external-ca
--subject="O=example AG,C=DE" --setup-dns --forwarder ...

then it asks me get signed certificates and to run ipa-server-install again.
Quote:

        The next step is to get /root/ipa.csr signed by your CA and re-run
/usr/sbin/ipa-server-install as:
        /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install
--external-cert-file=/path/to/signed_certificate
--external-cert-file=/path/to/external_ca_certificate

If I do, then DNS is not setup. I have to add the DNS specific options again.
This is highly misleading. ipa-server-install should show *all* necessary
command line arguments to complete the second step, according to step 1.

Unfortunately the log file is gone. Did you know that ipa-server-install
overwrites its own logfiles?

Comment 1 Petr Vobornik 2016-01-25 16:30:16 UTC 
This is a regression in 7.2. Second step of installation should use the options which were provided in the first step.  It does not happen and therefore DNS was not installed.

It may also lead to other issues related to non-default options, e.g. bug 1292042. 

Already fixed upstream.
