RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description German Parente 2016-01-25 12:55:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

using the command 

"ipa host-del <client machine> --updatedns" is not deleting completely the dns entries.

For instance, this entry remains:

dn: idnsName=ipaclient,idnsname=example.com.,cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com

The entry is modified with "--updatedns":

======================================
time: 20160125074150
dn: idnsName=ipaclient,idnsname=example.com.,cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: aAAARecord
-
replace: modifiersname
modifiersname: uid=admin,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com
-
======================================

and

=======================================
time: 20160125074150
dn: idnsname=example.com.,cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: idnsSOAserial
idnsSOAserial: 1453725712
-
replace: modifiersname
modifiersname: krbprincipalname=dns/ipaserver.example.com,cn=servi
 ces,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com
-
=======================================

but it's not clear to me yet why the entry is not completely deleted.

Feel free to close this bug if you think it's irrelevant.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ipa-server-4.2.0-15.el7_2.3.x86_64


How reproducible: always


Additional info:

workaround: 

ipa dnsrecord-del example.com. ipaclient

which will finish to do:

======================================
time: 20160125075333
dn: idnsname=ipaclient,idnsname=example.com.,cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: delete
modifiersname: uid=admin,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com
=======================================
Comment 2 Petr Vobornik 2016-01-25 16:40:13 UTC 
German, could you paste here content of  idnsName=ipaclient,idnsname=example.com.,cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com after the mod operation which removed the AAAA record?

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.
