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 Abhijeet Kasurde 2016-02-15 08:51:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
If user modifies DNS record from uppercase to lowercase or vice-versa, then operation fails with error 

'ipa: ERROR: Type or value exists:'

It takes two operation to change case of record.

# ipa dnsrecord-show testrelm.test _kerberos 
  Record name: _kerberos
  TXT record: testrelm.test
# ipa dnsrecord-mod testrelm.test _kerberos --txt-rec=TESTRELM.TEST
ipa: ERROR: Type or value exists:

First step is to change original value to some temp value and then temp value to desired value.

# ipa dnsrecord-mod testrelm.test _kerberos --txt-rec=INTERIMTESTRELM.TEST
  Record name: _kerberos
  TXT record: INTERIMTESTRELM.TEST
# ipa dnsrecord-mod testrelm.test _kerberos --txt-rec=testrelm.test
  Record name: _kerberos
  TXT record: testrelm.test

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.2.0-15.el7_2.6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add DNS record
2. Modify DNS record from uppercase to lowercase or vice-versa
3. Observe failure
3. Perfom two steps to achieve desired result 

# ipa dnsrecord-mod testrelm.test _kerberos --txt-rec=INTERIMTESTRELM.TEST
  Record name: _kerberos
  TXT record: INTERIMTESTRELM.TEST
# ipa dnsrecord-mod testrelm.test _kerberos --txt-rec=testrelm.test
  Record name: _kerberos
  TXT record: testrelm.test


Actual results:
DNS record modification takes two operations to change case of value

Expected results:
DNS record modification should be able to handle change case in single operation.

Comment 3 Petr Spacek 2016-02-16 10:20:48 UTC 
IPA is using inappropriate LDAP matching rule to handle TXT (and almost all other) record types. This should be handled by DS syntax plugin.
Comment 4 Petr Vobornik 2016-02-16 16:06:03 UTC 
This issue is not planned to be fixed in upcoming FreeIPA upstream release - 4.4. The status of the effort could be checked in upstream ticket in comment 2.
Comment 7 Rob Crittenden 2018-12-04 16:30:03 UTC 
Thank you taking your time and submitting this request for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The request was cloned to the upstream tracker a long time ago (see link to the upstream ticket above), but it was unfortunately not given priority either in the upstream project, nor in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Given that this request is not planned for a close release, it is highly unlikely it will be fixed in this major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We are therefore closing the request as WONTFIX.

To request that Red Hat reconsiders the decision, please reopen the Bugzilla with the help of Red Hat Customer Service and provide additional business and/or technical details about it's importance to you. Please note that you can still track this request or even offer help in the referred upstream Pagure ticket to expedite the solution
