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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1409628 +++

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/6585

This is a lightweight, more manual version of integration with external DNS systems. Automatic integration will be covered by bug 1206607 .

`ipa dns-update-system-records` command provides a way to get a list of DNS records about of IPA servers and their services - the records which are maintained by IPA installers and DNS location support.

Output of this command is human readable, but it cannot be used for updating external DNS system without preprocessing. 

`ipa dns-update-system-records` command should be enhanced so that it will provide an option to change format of its output to such which can then be directly consumed by nsupdate command both as file and standard input. The directives should update external DNS system to match IPA cofiguration.

Goal is to enable integration with external DNS system with minimum changes. It should be tested with both TSIG and GSS-TSIG auth metods (doesn't have to be part of the command output).
