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 Gowrishankar Rajaiyan 2012-02-07 12:39:59 UTC 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.2.0-101.20120205T0931zgit55cd9e7.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ipa server
2. Create replica file
3. Install ipa replica 
4. Make sure lookup fails for slave (Remove all DNS records of slave from master/ Point the slave to another DNS which does not lookup.)
5. Install ipa ca on slave with --no-host-dns option
  
Actual results:
ipa-ca-install fails

Your system may be partly configured.
Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.
[root@skyfire ~]# 

Expected results:
ipa-ca-install should succeed with --no-host-dns option even if there is no resolution of hostname.

Comment 3 Rob Crittenden 2012-02-07 13:34:24 UTC 
This implication here is that this works without --no-host-dns?

This option just skips the DNS lookup. If the host name is not resolvable it will never be installable. Is the host in /etc/hosts at least?

I assume you're using --skip-conncheck because that would otherwise catch the problem?

This fails with or without --no-host-dns option, but expected to pass when --no-host-dns option is provided.

> will never be installable. Is the host in /etc/hosts at least?

Yes, the host exists in /etc/hosts.
[root@skyfire ~]# cat /etc/hosts

Yes, --skip-conncheck catches the problem, however, the test case was to test --no-host-dns option explicitly.
