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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2012:0819 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE ipa bug fix and enhancement update 2012-06-19 20:34:17 UTC

Description Gowrishankar Rajaiyan 2012-02-13 09:44:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

This was detected by Niru as part of IPA DNS Test Day.

As part of negative testing, providing non-integers for --a-rec option gives appropriate error message, however, providing data with just 3 octets doesn't give any error. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.2.0-101.20120209T0933zgit52cf9d9.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. [root@skyfire ~]# ipa dnsrecord-add lab.eng.pnq.redhat.com bumblebee --a-rec=a.b.c.d
ipa: ERROR: invalid 'ip_address': invalid IP address format
[root@skyfire ~]#

2. [root@skyfire ~]# ipa dnsrecord-add lab.eng.pnq.redhat.com bumblebee --a-rec=10.65.211
  Record name: bumblebee
  A record: 10.65.211
[root@skyfire ~]#

  
Actual results:
IP address with just 3 octets is accepted.

Expected results:
Should error out stating "ipa: ERROR: invalid 'ip_address': invalid IP address format"
