Description Dmitri Pal 2011-12-09 23:39:37 UTC
The --allow-dynupdate option for dnszone-mod does not take any parameter, so if the option is not specified it will be considered as changing it to FALSE, which might not be the intention. This problem affects both CLI and UI.

In the following example the dynamic update is initially TRUE (not shown):

{{{
# ipa dnszone-show example.com
  Zone name: example.com
  Authoritative nameserver: ns.example.com.
  Administrator e-mail address: root.example.com.
  SOA serial: 2011311001
  SOA refresh: 3600
  SOA retry: 900
  SOA expire: 1209600
  SOA minimum: 3600
  Active zone: TRUE
}}}

The following command intends to change the SOA retry only, but the dynamic update is changed to FALSE.

{{{
# ipa dnszone-mod example.com --retry=600
  Zone name: example.com
  Authoritative nameserver: ns.example.com.
  Administrator e-mail address: root.example.com.
  SOA serial: 2011311001
  SOA refresh: 3600
  SOA retry: 600
  SOA expire: 1209600
  SOA minimum: 3600
  Active zone: TRUE
  Dynamic update: FALSE
}}}

One solution is to change the --allow-dynupdate option to take a boolean value.
