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 Striker Leggette 2020-07-07 16:37:32 UTC 
[+] Description of problem:
 - During the ipa-client-install, nsupdate runs but tries to bind with GSSAPI. If the bind fails, nsupdate stops.

[+] How reproducible:
 - Always

[+] Steps to Reproduce:
 1. Run ipa-client-install.

[+] Expected results:
 - nsupdate tries to bind with gssapi but then tries unsecure if gssapi fails
Comment 2 Alexander Bokovoy 2020-07-08 05:08:40 UTC 
This is by design. GSS-TSIG is the only way we can securely authenticate to the authorative DNS server at this point, we have no knowledge or means to do otherwise.

There are two places where a client might do nsupdate in FreeIPA domain:
 - during enrollment process, in ipa-client-install
 - during IP address changes in SSSD

SSSD has 'dyndns_auth' option that can be used to force insecure updates with 'none' value.

If we want to have any flexibility here, we probably need to retry nsupdate without GSS-TSIG if tsig version failed and then if that succeeded, set 'dyndns_auth = none' in SSSD configuration.
