#6296 client-install with IPv6 address fails on link-local address (always)
Closed: Fixed None Opened 7 years ago by mbasti.

Steps to reproduce:

  • ipa-client-install --ip-address 2001:db8:: # address that does not match any local interface

Traceback:

[root@vm-058-089 ~]# ipa-client-install --ip-address '2001:db8::'
WARNING: ntpd time&date synchronization service will not be configured as
conflicting service (chronyd) is enabled

It looks that netaddr.IPNetwork does not allow %suffix (interface, scope)

In [3]: ifnet = netaddr.IPNetwork('fe80::21a:4aff:fe23:1595%ens3/64')

    934 
    935         self._value = value

In [4]: ifnet = netaddr.IPNetwork('fe80::21a:4aff:fe23:1595/64')

I'm not sure if this is our bug or netaddr.IPNetwork


This fails only when:

  • ipv6 address is used
  • --ip-address option is used

master:

  • db55bde Fix parse errors with link-local addresses

ipa-4-4:

  • d900c22 Fix parse errors with link-local addresses

This "fix" will cause issues when link-local address is really used somewhere. The address without network scope is invalid/not usable. It would be better to fix IPNetwork to accept network scope ID.

I can't imagine use case for link-local address with IPA. AFAIK even python3 standard module (ipaddress) does not support scope ID
