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.
Cause:
IPA server installation with externally signed CA certificate is split into two command runs. Options provided to the first run are stored and later restored in second run. Option '--setup-dns' was not stored in the end of the first run.
Consequence:
Default value (false) of option '--setup-dns' was used in second run of IPA server installer. DNS server was not configured together with IPA server.
Fix:
Values of all provided options are stored between installer runs.
Result:
Second run of IPA server respects values of previously provided options.

{{{
If I run
ipa-server-install -n example.com -r EXAMPLE.COM --external-ca
--subject="O=example AG,C=DE" --setup-dns --forwarder ...
then it asks me get signed certificates and to run ipa-server-install again.
Quote:
The next step is to get /root/ipa.csr signed by your CA and re-run
/usr/sbin/ipa-server-install as:
/usr/sbin/ipa-server-install
--external-cert-file=/path/to/signed_certificate
--external-cert-file=/path/to/external_ca_certificate
If I do, then DNS is not setup. I have to add the DNS specific options again.
This is highly misleading. ipa-server-install should show *all* necessary
command line arguments to complete the second step, according to step 1.
Unfortunately the log file is gone. Did you know that ipa-server-install
overwrites its own logfiles?
}}}
This is a regression in 7.2. Second step of installation should use the options which were provided in the first step. It does not happen and therefore DNS was not installed.
It may also lead to other issues related to non-default options, e.g. bug 1292042.
Already fixed upstream.
