Current IPA can spit error message like
Host does not have corresponding DNS A record
even if the record is present in LDAP. Current DNS checks use regular DNS query (which is good) rather than direct LDAP search (which should be stated in error message). Similar error messages create confusion in cases where DNS resolution is broken for some reason.
I propose following error message format:
Host '%s' does not have corresponding DNS A record (DNS query sent from '%s')
Moving my tickets back to free-to-take pool.
Moving more imporant usability improvements back to NEEDS_TRIAGE.
Acked, we will do it earlier.
ipa-replica-install could be improved too:
ipa-replica-install
# ipa-replica-install --setup-ca --setup-dns --forwarder=10.34.47.1 -p root4lab -w root4lab replica-info-vm-100.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com.gpg Your system may be partly configured. Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up. Unexpected error - see /var/log/ipareplica-install.log for details: HostReverseLookupError: Unable to resolve the reverse ip address, check /etc/hosts or DNS name resolution
The information is available in logs so there is no reason not to print it to standard output:
2014-09-23T12:11:50Z DEBUG Check if vm-133.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com is not a CNAME 2014-09-23T12:11:50Z DEBUG Check reverse address of 10.34.47.133 2014-09-23T12:11:50Z DEBUG Check failed: [Errno 1] Unknown host 2014-09-23T12:11:50Z DEBUG File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipaserver/install/installutils.py", line 638, in run_script return_value = main_function() File "/sbin/ipa-replica-install", line 543, in main installutils.verify_fqdn(config.master_host_name, options.no_host_dns) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipaserver/install/installutils.py", line 169, in verify_fqdn raise HostReverseLookupError("Unable to resolve the reverse ip address, check /etc/hosts or DNS name resolution") 2014-09-23T12:11:50Z DEBUG The ipa-replica-install command failed, exception: HostReverseLookupError: Unable to resolve the reverse ip address, check /etc/hosts or DNS name resolution
This would be nice for better troubleshooting.
