#5858 [RFE] ipa-{server,replica,dns}-installshould preserve include files in /etc/named.conf
Closed: fixed 2 years ago by frenaud. Opened 7 years ago by pvoborni.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1328811

Description of problem:

Since ipa does not support native LDAP based DNS slave mode, some organization
are adding file based slave DNS conifgurations in /etc/named.conf i.e. adding
include "/etc/named.external.zones.conf"; where out-of-band slave zones are
configured.

However, ipa-{server,replica,dns}-install overwrites named.conf.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. alter named.conf
2. run ipa-{server,replica,dns}-install
3. find named.conf with removed include statement

Actual results:


Expected results:
include statements in /etc/named.conf should be preserved when running
ipa-{server,replica,dns}-install

Additional info:
Slave DNS support via LDAP was NACKed in upstream ticket
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5364
Configuring named.conf is a nice workaround.

Starting with ipa 4.8.2, it is possible to customize named using /etc/named/ipa-options-ext.conf (for options) and /etc/named/ipa-ext.conf (for the other settings). Those files are not modified during IPA upgrades.

Closing as fixed.
