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.

The IPA server requires an administrative user, named 'admin'.
This user is a regular system account used for IPA server administration.

IPA admin password: 
Password (confirm): 

Checking DNS domain example.test., please wait ...
Enter the IP address to use, or press Enter to finish.
Please provide the IP address to be used for this host name: 
No usable IP address provided nor resolved.
ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(Server): ERROR    The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information

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

ipa-server-4.4.0-0.el7.2.alpha1.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get IP address of the current host (say 10.16.46.37).
2. Run hostname ipa.example.test
3. Runecho 10.16.46.37 ipa.example.test >> /etc/hosts
4. Run ping ipa.example.test and verify that it's resolvable and reachable.
5. Run ipa-server-install, confirm that you want to use example.test domain.

Actual results:

Checking DNS domain example.test., please wait ...
Enter the IP address to use, or press Enter to finish.
Please provide the IP address to be used for this host name: 
No usable IP address provided nor resolved.

Expected results:

No error -- the hostname is clear and /etc/hosts makes it resolvable.

Additional info:

This breaks IPA in containers.

Can you reproduce even with ipa-4.4.0-1.el7?
