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 Steeve Goveas 2012-06-05 08:05:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
While deleting host with --updatedns, the deletion fails with error
"ipa: ERROR: PTR record does not contain 'hp-xw4200-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com..'". Notice there are two trailing dots in the error message.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add client A and PTR records in IPA DNS server
2. Add client with "ipa host-add" from the ipa server or ipa-join from the client machine.
3. Try deleting the client with ipa host-del updating dns
# ipa host-del <client host machine> --updatedns
  
Actual results:
Command exit with error message
ipa: ERROR: PTR record does not contain 'hp-xw4200-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com..'

Expected results:
---------------------------------------------------
Deleted host "hp-xw4200-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com" and updated DNS records
---------------------------------------------------

I could not reproduce the bug:

# rpm -q ipa-server

# ipa host-add foo.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com --ip-address 10.16.78.100

# ipa host-del foo.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com --updatedns
-----------------------------------------
Deleted host "foo.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com"

Steeve, can you please revise provided reproduction steps?
Comment 5 Martin Kosek 2012-08-27 10:34:25 UTC 
I managed to finally reproduce this issue. The key is in the name of the zone that the host belongs to. It needs to be in a FQDN  form with a trailing dot:


# ipa dnszone-add example.com. --name-server=`hostname`
Administrator e-mail address [hostmaster.example.com.]: 
  Zone name: example.com.
  Authoritative nameserver: vm-055.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com.
  Administrator e-mail address: hostmaster.example.com.
  SOA serial: 1346063470
  SOA refresh: 3600
  SOA retry: 900
  SOA expire: 1209600
  SOA minimum: 3600

                      * AAAA; grant IDM.LAB.BOS.REDHAT.COM krb5-self * SSHFP;
  Active zone: TRUE
  Dynamic update: FALSE
  Allow query: any;
  Allow transfer: none;

# ipa host-add foo.example.com --ip-address=10.16.78.100
----------------------------

----------------------------
  Host name: foo.example.com
  Principal name: host/foo.example.com.BOS.REDHAT.COM
  Password: False

# ipa dnsrecord-find 78.16.10.in-addr.arpa.
  Record name: 100
  PTR record: foo.example.com.
...

# ipa host-del foo.example.com --updatedns
ipa: ERROR: PTR record does not contain 'foo.example.com..'
