766075 – DNS zone dynamic update is changed to false if --allow-dynupdate not specified

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 Dmitri Pal 2011-12-09 23:39:37 UTC

The --allow-dynupdate option for dnszone-mod does not take any parameter, so if the option is not specified it will be considered as changing it to FALSE, which might not be the intention. This problem affects both CLI and UI.

In the following example the dynamic update is initially TRUE (not shown):

{{{
# ipa dnszone-show example.com
  Zone name: example.com
  Authoritative nameserver: ns.example.com.
  Administrator e-mail address: root.example.com.
  SOA serial: 2011311001
  SOA refresh: 3600
  SOA retry: 900
  SOA expire: 1209600
  SOA minimum: 3600
  Active zone: TRUE
}}}

The following command intends to change the SOA retry only, but the dynamic update is changed to FALSE.

{{{
# ipa dnszone-mod example.com --retry=600
  Zone name: example.com
  Authoritative nameserver: ns.example.com.
  Administrator e-mail address: root.example.com.
  SOA serial: 2011311001
  SOA refresh: 3600
  SOA retry: 600
  SOA expire: 1209600
  SOA minimum: 3600
  Active zone: TRUE
  Dynamic update: FALSE
}}}

One solution is to change the --allow-dynupdate option to take a boolean value.
