Description Petr Spacek 2016-02-19 09:10:05 UTC
Description of problem:
Section
⁠3.2.4.1. Installing with an Integrated DNS Service Interactively
step 4. The script then prompts for DNS forwarders. 

and

⁠3.2.4.2. Installing with an Integrated DNS Service Non-Interactively
subsection DNS forwarders

should link to  ⁠17.7. Managing DNS Forwarding for further information what forwarding is and when it is necessary.


Actual results:
User needs to know what forwarding is and when to use it, so find out that he needs to jump from section 3 to section 17.7.


Expected results:
We advise user what to read.

It might be good to put the information to the introductory "3.2.4. Configuring DNS Services within the IdM Domain" section. The installation procedures could then only include information relevant to the task itself.

Comment 3 Aneta Šteflová Petrová 2016-02-24 07:02:18 UTC
The following parts of the guide now point to 17.7. Managing DNS Forwarding for information on what forwarding is and whether to use it or not:
* 3.2.4. Configuring DNS Services
* step 4 "Installing with Integrated DNS Interactively" (part of 3.2.4.)
* step 1 in "Installing with Integrated DNS Non-Interactively" (part of 3.2.4.)

The SME acked the changes, so I'm moving this BZ directly to VERIFIED.
