Description Rob Crittenden 2012-02-28 18:10:18 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2438

It is possible to perform an ipa-client-install which results in a SASL Bind Failure due to reverse dns failing for the FreeIPA server.

I would like to request that a simple fwd/rev dns check be added to the client to simplify troubleshooting when faced with a condition like this.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 07:13:11 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:26:51 UTC

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Comment 10 Alexander Bokovoy 2019-04-29 13:44:14 UTC

Raven grooming:
 - we set no-canonicalization in LDAP connection nowadays
 - however, in IPA client installer we obtain Kerberos TGT _before_ retrieving a CA cert from LDAP
 - thus, there might be an issue with dns_canonicalize_hostname before we set it to false in /etc/krb5.conf

It would be good to fix it in the installer itself, not just in Ansible.

Comment 14 Petr Čech 2020-07-10 06:08:41 UTC

Thank you taking your time and submitting this request for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The request was cloned to the upstream tracker a long time ago (see link to the upstream ticket above), but it was unfortunately not given priority either in the upstream project, nor in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Given that this request is not planned for a close release, it is highly unlikely it will be fixed in this major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We are therefore closing the request as WONTFIX.

To request that Red Hat reconsiders the decision, please reopen the Bugzilla with the help of Red Hat Customer Service and provide additional business and/or technical details about it's importance to you. Please note that you can still track this request or even offer help in the referred upstream Pagure ticket to expedite the solution.
