Description Dmitri Pal 2011-12-09 23:41:14 UTC

I haven't delved into the details of what is going on yet but here is what I did:

 * install ipa-server with DNS
 * add an A and PTR record for a replica
 * ipa-replica-prepare replica
 * on replica install
 * on master: ipa-replica-manage del replica
 * on replica try to re-install

The reinstall will fail from the remote side with all services failing. The reason is because removing the replication agreement removes the host from DNS so the conncheck fails. We should resolve the hostname before doing the conncheck.

Comment 3 Gowrishankar Rajaiyan 2012-04-09 14:19:13 UTC

Ports are not checked when the target hostname is not resolvable.
