IdM enables semi-automatic upgrades of the IdM DNS records on an external DNS server To simplify updating the Identity Management (IdM) DNS records on an external DNS server, IdM introduces the "ipa dns-update-system-records --dry-run --out [file]" command. The command generates a list of records in a format accepted by the *nsupdate* utility. You can use the generated file to update the records on the external DNS server by using a standard dynamic DNS update mechanism secured with the Transaction Signature (TSIG) protocol or the GSS algorithm for TSIG (GSS-TSIG). For details, see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/dns-updates-external.html.

Description Petr Vobornik 2017-01-02 16:15:24 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/6585

This is a lightweight, more manual version of integration with external DNS systems. Automatic integration will be covered by bug 1206607 .

`ipa dns-update-system-records` command provides a way to get a list of DNS records about of IPA servers and their services - the records which are maintained by IPA installers and DNS location support.

Output of this command is human readable, but it cannot be used for updating external DNS system without preprocessing. 

`ipa dns-update-system-records` command should be enhanced so that it will provide an option to change format of its output to such which can then be directly consumed by nsupdate command both as file and standard input. The directives should update external DNS system to match IPA cofiguration.

Goal is to enable integration with external DNS system with minimum changes. It should be tested with both TSIG and GSS-TSIG auth metods (doesn't have to be part of the command output).

Comment 9 Martin Kosek 2017-05-26 09:40:19 UTC 
Please note that Red Hat officially released public RHEL-7.4 Beta this week, as announced here:
https://www.redhat.com/en/about/blog/red-hat-enterprise-linux-74-beta-now-available

The new RHEL-7.4 release includes a lot of new IdM functionality, including this RFE. Highlights can be found in RHEL-7.4 Release Notes, especially in the Authentication & Interoperability chapter:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7-Beta/html/7.4_Release_Notes/new_features_authentication_and_interoperability.html

IdM Engineering team would like to encourage everyone interested in this new functionality (and especially customers or community members requesting it) to try Beta and provide us with your feedback!
