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.

Fixed In Version: ipa-2.1.1-1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Removing an external host value with "update dns" checked. Consequence: The action appears to be successful but the host is not removed. Fix: This performs two actions, updating DNS and removing the host. When multiple actions are performed any errors that resulted were being lost. Result: These errors are now tracked and reported separately.

Description Jenny Severance 2011-08-08 17:14:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
If you add an external host when IPA is install with integrated DNS and then try to delete it while checking update dns, from the UI is appears like it is successful, but does not delete the host.  The CLI returns an appropriate error saying the DNS zone <zonename> was not found.

Summary     : The IPA authentication server
Description :
IPA is an integrated solution to provide centrally managed Identity (machine,
user, virtual machines, groups, authentication credentials), Policy
(configuration settings, access control information) and Audit (events,
logs, analysis thereof). If you are installing an IPA server you need
to install this package (in other words, most people should NOT install
this package).


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install IPA server with integrated DNS
2. Log into the web UI as admin
3. Hosts --> Add
4. enter a host FQDN outside of the managed DNS domain and check the force button (do not define an IP address)
5. delete the host and check Remove entries from DNS
  
Actual results:
Appears successful, but host is not deleted

Expected results:
Same as CLI - error is returned:
ipa: ERROR: DNS zone <zonename> not found
