Description Dmitri Pal 2012-04-09 21:33:43 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2615

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810985 (''Fedora'')

{{{
Description of problem:

The existing documentation seems to indicate that zone entries need to be added
to a zone file whether the end user is using the included DNS server or an
external server.  The current content is:

"Once the installation process completes, update the DNS entries so that IPA
clients can discover the new server. For example, for an IPA replica with a
hostname of ipareplica.example.com:"

This should probably be changed to indicate that this is only necessary when
not using the included DNS server.

Setting all priority and severity to medium.

Comment 3 Deon Ballard 2012-05-03 18:15:26 UTC

I removed the steps for updating the DNS config from the replica setup:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Identity_Management_Guide/Setting_up_IPA_Replicas.html#creating-the-replica

Step 5 is to verify that the DNS entries were properly created.
