Description of problem: We can see in documentation: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/trouble.html#uninstalling-clients " The only way to uninstall a client completely is to use ipa-client-install --uninstall. " It could be interesting, at uninstall, to have an option to do the exact symetric operation than ipa-client-install. Today, the ipa-client-install command creates entries on server. And the --uninstall is not deleting them. We need to do ipa-client-install --uninstall ipa host-del <client machine> to invert the client install. An option "--clean-all" or "--server-clean" could delete also host entry + dns entry if possible ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipa-client-4.2.0-15.el7_2.3.x86_64 ipa-server-4.2.0-15.el7_2.3.x86_64
Upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5676
Summary of internal discussion """ So can we summarize and agree that: a) It is a good idea to have an option to clean DNS record on the host-del b) Since there are already expectations about system behavior this option would not be enabled by default. """ It is more related to bug 1301586, but here the context is that cleanup should not be a default behavior.
Once the upstream community implements this feature it will be pulled into a corresponding Red Hat Enterprise Linux release following the corresponding schedules. From now on this issue will be tracked in the community issue tracker only. Closing this BZ.
