Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 of problem:
In section 8.2 of the "Identity management guide" it states the following:
"--no-forwarders means that there are no forwarders used with the DNS service, only root servers. Alternatively, a comma-separated list of forwarders can be given, using the --forwarder option. "
While in the man page for ipa-dns-install it states:
" --forwarder=FORWARDER
A forwarder is a DNS server where queries for a specific non-resolvable address can be directed. To define multiple forwarders use mul-
tiple instances of --forwarder"
The correct behaviour is that of the man page.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
IPA v.2 in RHEL 6
How reproducible:
100%
I think that the --no-forwarders option will suppress prompting for forwarders and getting into the interactive installation mode. If you just omit all the parameters the installation will start asking questions. Would you mind doublecheking this and closing this bug?
That would be correct. The documentation between the man page and what we have on docs.redhat.com is conflicting (also, comma separating hosts for the forwarders simply doesn't work). My request would either be to make that work, or fix the docs. Fixing the docs is probably the easier of the two.
