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 Namita Soman 2011-04-05 14:45:32 UTC 
Created attachment 489994 [details]
part of the ipaserver-install.log

Description of problem:
Installing ipa server using zonemgr option which includes special chars fails to install the server. A preinstall check would avoid the install to begin in this scenario.

Installed using -
ipa-server-install --setup-dns --no-forwarders --zonemgr=Têko

This failed with error - 
Configuring named:
  [1/9]: adding DNS container
  [2/9]: setting up our zone
Unexpected error - see ipaserver-install.log for details:
 idnsSOArName: value #0 invalid per syntax: Invalid syntax.


I was able to successfully uninstall after the above.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.0.0-19.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install using cmd: 
ipa-server-install --setup-dns --no-forwarders --zonemgr=Têko

  
Actual results:
Install started, and went through setting up DS, CS etc, and then failed with error
idnsSOArName: value #0 invalid per syntax: Invalid syntax.



Expected results:
If i have an invalid value for zonemgr, do not start the install.
