#6345 [RFE] Add support for IDNA2008 (and transitional versions) to DNS plugin
Opened 7 years ago by mbasti. Modified 7 years ago

Python-dns in version 1.15 will add support for IDNA2008 and friends. When python-dns is released we can add support for IDNA2008 into IPA.

A user should specify version of IDNA by global config stored in LDAP.


This requires additional packages:python-dns 1.15, python-idna

IDNA 2008 support is critical for German, Greek, Farsi and Sinhala domain names. Currently IDNA 2008 support is bit of a mess. Firefox supports it. I got a fixes into curl and python-requests. Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, wget and CLI tools from bind-utils still use IDNA 2003.
