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 of problem:
Since ipa does not support native LDAP based DNS slave mode, some organization are adding file based slave DNS conifgurations in /etc/named.conf i.e. adding include "/etc/named.external.zones.conf"; where out-of-band slave zones are configured.
However, ipa-{server,replica,dns}-install overwrites named.conf.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. alter named.conf
2. run ipa-{server,replica,dns}-install
3. find named.conf with removed include statement
Actual results:
Expected results:
include statements in /etc/named.conf should be preserved when running ipa-{server,replica,dns}-install
Additional info:
Slave DNS support via LDAP was NACKed in upstream ticket https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5364
Configuring named.conf is a nice workaround.
Fixing it will require replacing legacy regexes with proper named.conf parser, e.g. augeas. It is out of scope of upcoming 4.4 upstream release and therefore the upstream ticket was triaged in "Future releases" milestone.
Thank you taking your time and submitting this request for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It was unfortunately not given priority 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.
