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 Varun Mylaraiah 2021-07-27 09:41:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
ipa-server setup without DNS is failing
Error: 
Synchronizing time
No SRV records of NTP servers found and no NTP server or pool address was provided.
Using default chrony configuration.
Attempting to sync time with chronyc.
Process chronyc waitsync failed to sync time!
Unable to sync time with chrony server, assuming the time is in sync. Please check that 123 UDP port is opened, and any time server is on network.
Warning: IPA was unable to sync time with chrony!
         Time synchronization is required for IPA to work correctly
user 'named' not found


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.9.6-4.el9.x86_64
389-ds-base-2.0.6-3.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
#yum install ipa-server -y


[root@master ~]# ipa-server-install --hostname=master.ipadomain.test -r IPADOMAIN.TEST -n ipadomain.test --ip-address=10.0.103.88 -p Secret123 -a Secret123 -U

The log file for this installation can be found in /var/log/ipaserver-install.log
==============================================================================
This program will set up the IPA Server.
Version 4.9.6

This includes:
  * Configure a stand-alone CA (dogtag) for certificate management
  * Configure the NTP client (chronyd)
  * Create and configure an instance of Directory Server
  * Create and configure a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC)
  * Configure Apache (httpd)
  * Configure the KDC to enable PKINIT


The IPA Master Server will be configured with:
Hostname:       master.ipadomain.test
IP address(es): 10.0.103.88
Domain name:    ipadomain.test
Realm name:     IPADOMAIN.TEST

The CA will be configured with:
Subject DN:   CN=Certificate Authority,O=IPADOMAIN.TEST
Subject base: O=IPADOMAIN.TEST
Chaining:     self-signed

Disabled p11-kit-proxy
Synchronizing time
No SRV records of NTP servers found and no NTP server or pool address was provided.
Using default chrony configuration.
Attempting to sync time with chronyc.
Process chronyc waitsync failed to sync time!
Unable to sync time with chrony server, assuming the time is in sync. Please check that 123 UDP port is opened, and any time server is on network.
Warning: IPA was unable to sync time with chrony!
         Time synchronization is required for IPA to work correctly
user 'named' not found
The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information


[root@master ~]# id named
id: ‘named’: no such user



Expected results:
ipa-server setup without DNS should work

Additional info:
ipa-server setup without DNS works fine after ipa-server with DNS is install and uninstall
Comment 2 Christian Heimes 2021-07-27 10:02:25 UTC 
The issue was introduce by one of these commits:

https://pagure.io/freeipa/c/16e1cbdc5e2192e47f11df4148069a8b7e2220f7
https://pagure.io/freeipa/c/1c4ae37293c31c5030556e8464099cad22d49db8

We never ran into the issue during testing because our test infra has ipa-server-dns and named installed by default. I recommend to introduce a test scenario without ipa-server-dns installed and with named user and group absent.
