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 Rob Crittenden 2012-05-07 19:45:15 UTC
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2717

Fix help of `--forwarder` option in per-zone configuration. Current help mentions "global forwarder", but this term is used rather for the list of forwarders in global DNS configuration and not for per-zone conditional forwarding:

{{{
# ipa dnszone-mod --help
Usage: ipa [global-options] dnszone-mod NAME [options]
...
 --forwarder=STR       A list of global forwarders. A custom port can be
                        specified for each forwarder using a standard format
                        "IP_ADDRESS port PORT"

# ipa dnsconfig-mod --help
Usage: ipa [global-options] dnsconfig-mod [options]
...
  --forwarder=STR       A list of global forwarders. A custom port can be
                        specified for each forwarder using a standard format
                        "IP_ADDRESS port PORT"
}}}

Comment 6 Rob Crittenden 2012-12-13 18:43:49 UTC
The dnszone-mod fix was all that was called for. dnsconfig-mod sets global forwarding. This appears fixed to me.

Comment 7 Dmitri Pal 2012-12-14 01:25:59 UTC
Namita, do you agree? Rob can you bounce it back?

Comment 8 Martin Kosek 2012-12-14 15:37:14 UTC
Namita, Rob is right. dnsconfig --forwarder option contains a global DNS forwarder, dnszone --forwarder contains a per-zone forwarder.

Comment 9 Namita Soman 2012-12-17 13:34:01 UTC
Marking verified. Help for dnszone-mod is updated as expected.
