free-ipa install dns error

Post by droidus » 2018/10/14 13:30:17

Upon installation of free-ip, I noticed this error:

Code: Select all

Could not update DNS SSHFP records.
SSSD enabled
Configured /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
Configured /etc/ssh/ssh_config
Configured /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Configuring user.com as NIS domain.
Client configuration complete.
The ipa-client-install command was successful

ipa         : ERROR    unable to resolve host name free-ipa.user.com. to IP address, ipa-ca DNS record will be incomplete
ipa         : ERROR    unable to resolve host name free-ipa.user.com. to IP address, ipa-ca DNS record will be incomplete
Please add records in this file to your DNS system: /tmp/ipa.system.records.ANNQ_W.db
==============================================================================
Setup complete
When I browse to the IP, it redirects me to https://free-ipa.user.com/ipa/ui, but it tells me that the IP address could not be found. How do I resolve this?

I've never touched freeipa but that has the sound of a domain name that you're meant to specify/override.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Yes, it does sound that way. I am just not sure what the format is suppose to be.

Which version are you using?
As per BZ1351276 that should be long resolved via RHBA-2016:2404 .
Of course, a regression is also possible.

Latest version should be 4.5.4-10.el7_5.4.4
Which 4.5.4 do you have , as I currently don't have an installed FreeIPA to check the API version ?

How do I find that out?

Edit:
I also have this in my hosts file:

Code: Select all

192.168.2.5 free-ipa.user.com free-ipa
free-ipa.user.com A 192.168.2.5

The second line is not a valid '/etc/hosts' entry.
Does this resolve properly:

Code: Select all

host free-ipa.user.com

Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Here is the output of mine (no LDAP/ID management/AD integration):

Code: Select all

root@Desktop ~]# grep ^hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts:      files dns myhostname
What is yours containing ?
