Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Improved security of DNS lookups and robustness of service principal lookups in Identity Management The Kerberos client library no longer attempts to canonicalize host names when issuing ticket-granting server (TGS) requests. This feature improves: * Security because DNS lookups, which were previously required during canonicalization, are no longer performed * Robustness of service principal lookups in more complex DNS environments, such as clouds or containerized applications Make sure you specify the correct fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in host and service principals. Due to this change in behavior, Kerberos does not attempt to resolve any other form of names in principals, such as short names.

Description Jan Pazdziora 2016-12-14 09:44:56 EST 
Description of problem:

When record for IPA server is present on IPA-client-to-be in /etc/hosts and it starts with non-FQDN name, and principal + password is used to enroll, the command fails with

In unattended mode without a One Time Password (OTP) or without --ca-cert-file
You must specify --force to retrieve the CA cert using HTTP
Cannot obtain CA certificate
HTTP certificate download requires --force
Installation failed. Rolling back changes.
IPA client is not configured on this system.

This situation occurs for example when the IPA-client is run in container under docker 1.12 because

# docker run --link freeipa-server-container:ipa --rm -ti centos:centos7 cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
::1	localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0	ip6-localnet
ff00::0	ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1	ip6-allnodes
ff02::2	ip6-allrouters
172.17.0.2	ipa ipa.example.test freeipa-server-container
172.17.0.5	be237a05c86a

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

ipa-client-4.4.0-14.el7_3.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have IPA server ipa.example.test, with IPA-managed DNS server on the same machine.
2. On the client machine, point the nameserver record in /etc/resolv.conf to the IP address of the IPA server.
3. On the client machine, put the IP address + short IPA server name + FQDN of IPA server record to /etc/hosts, for example

10.11.12.13 ipa ipa.example.test

4. Run ipa-client-install -U -p admin -w Secret123

Actual results:

WARNING: ntpd time&date synchronization service will not be configured as
conflicting service (chronyd) is enabled
Use --force-ntpd option to disable it and force configuration of ntpd

Discovery was successful!
Client hostname: client.example.test
Realm: EXAMPLE.TEST
DNS Domain: example.test
IPA Server: ipa.example.test
BaseDN: dc=example,dc=test

Skipping synchronizing time with NTP server.
In unattended mode without a One Time Password (OTP) or without --ca-cert-file
You must specify --force to retrieve the CA cert using HTTP
Cannot obtain CA certificate
HTTP certificate download requires --force
Installation failed. Rolling back changes.
IPA client is not configured on this system.

Expected results:

No error, the client IPA-enrolled.

Additional info:

The /var/log/ipaclient-install.log says

Note that the non-FQDN name of the IPA server machine is used as principal (ldap/ipa@EXAMPLE.TEST).
Comment 1 Jan Pazdziora 2016-12-14 09:47:02 EST 
When the /etc/hosts line for the IPA server on the client starts with yet another string, like

10.11.12.13 abc ipa ipa.example.test

that string is used for principal name:

2016-12-14T14:44:32Z DEBUG trying to retrieve CA cert via LDAP from ipa.example.test
2016-12-14T14:44:32Z DEBUG get_ca_certs_from_ldap() error: Insufficient access: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information (Server ldap/abc@EXAMPLE.TEST not found in Kerberos database)
2016-12-14T14:44:32Z DEBUG Insufficient access: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information (Server ldap/abc@EXAMPLE.TEST not found in Kerberos database)
2016-12-14T14:44:32Z ERROR In unattended mode without a One Time Password (OTP) or without --ca-cert-file

So the client knows it is retrieving from ipa.example.test but uses some sort of reverse lookup to arrive at wrong hostname and thus wrong principal name.
