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.

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3603

When using 'ipa dnszone-add' do add a new zone it prompts only for:
- Authoritative nameserver:
- Zone name:
- Administrator e-mail address [...]:
and fails with the following error:
"ipa: ERROR: Nameserver '...' does not have a corresponding A/AAAA record"

When you try to add A/AAAA record for the Nameserver you'll end up with:
"ipa: ERROR: example: DNS zone not found"

So you end up in a situation where you can not add new zone because you don't
have A/AAAA record for the Nameserver AND can not add new A/AAAA record for the
Nameserver because you have no zone.

Fixed upstream:
master: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/c5bfeb1ed0fc8a31fcfea475cccc98da37f7c17e
ipa-3-2: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/e2c47dcab5185c3ec1e0fb0e35c160aef45e4c62

Verified that dnszone asks for IP address in it needs to.

Verified against ipa-server-3.3.3-6.el7.x86_64
