Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1108202
dnsrecord-* with absolute target gives error
Last modified: 2015-03-05 05:11:20 EST
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4232 For example: {{{ $ ipa dnsrecord-add testdomain.com. testdomain.com. --mx-rec="5 mx.testdomain.com." ipa: ERROR: invalid 'name': empty DNS label }}} It is complaining about the second "testdomain.com.". The workaround is to use a "@" (for the domain itself) or a relative name e.g. {{{ $ ipa dnsrecord-add testdomain.com. @ --mx-rec="5 mx.testdomain.com." # testdomain.com. MX 5 mx.testdomain.com. $ ipa dnsrecord-add testdomain.com. subdomain --mx-rec="5 mx.testdomain.com." # subdomain.testdomain.com. MX 5 mx.testdomain.com. }}}
This request is already fixed in upstream FreeIPA project. Please refer to the linked ticket for additional details and related commits.
Verified using ipa-server-4.1.0-16.el7.x86_64 # ipa dnsrecord-add testrelm.test. testrelm.test. --mx-rec="5 mx.testrelm.test." Record name: @ MX record: 5 mx.testrelm.test. NS record: cloud-qe-14.testrelm.test., cloud-qe-3.testrelm.test.
