Chapter 24. Installing DNS on an existing IdM server
Chapter 24. Installing DNS on an existing IdM server Install the DNS service on an Identity Management (IdM) server that was originally installed without it. Prerequisites You understand the advantages and limitations of using IdM with integrated DNS as described in Installing an IdM server: With integrated DNS, with an integrated CA as the root CA . You have root access to the IdM server. Procedure Optional: Verify that DNS is not already installed on the IdM server. The output confirms that IdM DNS is not available on the server. Enable the idm:DL1 stream: Download the ipa-dns-server package and its dependencies: Start the script to install DNS on the server: The script prompts for per-server DNS forwarders. To configure per-server DNS forwarders, enter yes , and then follow the instructions on the command line. The installation process will add the forwarder IP addresses to the IdM LDAP. For the forwarding policy default settings, see the --forward-policy description in the ipa-dns-install (1) man page. If you do not want to use DNS forwarding, enter no . With no DNS forwarders, hosts in your IdM domain will not be able to resolve names from other, internal, DNS domains in your infrastructure. The hosts will only be left with public DNS servers to resolve their DNS queries. The script prompts to check if any DNS reverse (PTR) records for the IP addresses associated with the server need to be configured. If you run the search and missing reverse zones are discovered, the script asks you whether to create the reverse zones along with the PTR records. Note Using IdM to manage reverse zones is optional. You can use an external DNS service for this purpose instead. Additional resources man ipa-dns-install(1)
