this term is already used for other things than hierarchical dependency between a top server and a low rank server.

Comment 2 Filip Hanzelka 2023-07-25 08:36:01 UTC

In IdM docs, only three replacements of 'slave' have been made between RHEL 7 and RHEL 8 docs (as there are only three occurrences of 'slave' in RHEL 7 IdM docs:

1/ "The IdM-integrated DNS is multi-master. SOA serial numbers in IdM zones are not synchronized between IdM servers. For this reason, configure DNS slave servers to only use one IdM master server. This prevents zone transfer failures caused by non-synchronized SOA serial numbers."
has been rephrased as follows:
"The IdM-integrated DNS can be written to by different servers simultaneously. The Start of Authority (SOA) serial numbers in IdM zones are not synchronized among the individual IdM DNS servers. For this reason, configure your DNS servers outside the to-be-transferred zone to only use one specific DNS server inside the to-be-transferred zone. This prevents zone transfer failures caused by non-synchronized SOA serial numbers."

2/ "The client's affinity to a DNS location is only defined by the DNS records received by the client. For this reason, you can combine IdM DNS servers with non-IdM DNS slave servers and recursors if the clients doing DNS service discovery resolve location-specific records from IdM DNS servers."
has become
"The client’s affinity to a DNS location is only defined by the DNS records received by the client. For this reason, you can combine IdM DNS servers with non-IdM DNS consumer servers and recursors if the clients doing DNS service discovery resolve location-specific records from IdM DNS servers."

3/ "Note that even if an IdM server is used as a master DNS server, other external DNS servers can still be used as slave servers.
For example, if your environment is already using another DNS server, such as an Active Directory-integrated DNS server, you can delegate only the IdM primary domain to the IdM-integrated DNS. You are not required to migrate DNS zones over to the IdM-integrated DNS."
has become
"Even if an Identity Management server is used as a primary DNS server, other external DNS servers can still be used as secondary servers. For example, if your environment is already using another DNS server, such as a DNS server integrated with Active Directory (AD), you can delegate only the IdM primary domain to the DNS integrated with IdM. It is not necessary to migrate DNS zones to the IdM DNS."

If there is anything wrong with these ^^ replacements/conversions, we should fix that. Otherwise, I would treat this BZ as NOTABUG.

Comment 3 Filip Hanzelka 2023-07-26 07:32:56 UTC

Quoting an SME:

'Bind, which is the embedded nameserver used by IdM, uses "secondary server", we go a step ahead by naming the nameservers roles.

The documentation without "slave" follows current Bind documentation practices, and I'd close this as NOTABUG.'
