RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. get a system with F14
2. add repo http://jdennis.fedorapeople.org/ipa-devel/ipa-devel-fedora.repo
3. enable fedora-updates-testing.repo
4. add some utils
yum install -y ntpdate bind-utils rsync openssh-clients openldap-clients wget tigervnc-server lsof xterm twm xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel firefox
yum install -y dbus subversion vim screen
5. yum update
6. reboot
7. yum install ipa-server bind caching-nameserver
8. ipa-server-install --realm=EXAMPLE.COM --domain=example.com --ds-password=password --master-password=password --admin-password=password --hostname=ipaserver1.example.com --idstart=1000 --setup-dns --forwarder=10.14.7.221 --zonemgr=msauton

  
Actual results:

The log file for this installation can be found in /var/log/ipaserver-install.log
==============================================================================
This program will set up the FreeIPA Server.

This includes:
  * Configure the Network Time Daemon (ntpd)
  * Create and configure an instance of Directory Server
  * Create and configure a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC)
  * Configure Apache (httpd)
  * Configure DNS (bind)

To accept the default shown in brackets, press the Enter key.

The BIND LDAP plug-in was not found on this system
Please install the 'bind-dyndb-ldap' package and start the installation again
Aborting installation
[root@ipaserver1 ~]#


Expected results:


Additional info:

seem to be in IPA trac:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/140

tried to look into bz if already reported, not in
bz 502744 - Update "Installing the IPA Server" section to account for BIND
bz 504387 - bind-dyndb-ldap missing dependencies on rhel 5

does it need to be in BZ ?

workaround:
yum install bind-dyndb-ldap

and then hit a pkisilent issue.

Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2011-01-20 14:14:34 UTC
DNS is an optional component so we do not require its packages be installed. We determine at runtime whether the packages exist and warn accordingly.

Comment 3 Marc Sauton 2011-01-20 19:22:36 UTC
pki is optional too, but pki-ca seem to be added as a dependency.
It is kind of annoying to see ipa-server-install aborting on an optional feature, 
Can we add a note into the doc?
Like may be in:
http://obriend.fedorapeople.org/freeIPA2.0/Identity_and_Policy_Management_Guide/html-single/#sect-Enterprise_Identity_Management_Guide-Preparing_for_an_IPA_Installation-DNS
5.6. DNS
?

(the pkisilent issue i had was with bz 671058 - ipa2 - ipa-server-install fails on pkisilent - xml parsing string -- ?)

Comment 4 Rob Crittenden 2011-01-20 19:35:12 UTC
pki is optional but enabled by default
dns is optional and disabled by default
