#88 Bind/LDAP error
Closed: Invalid Opened by tsunamie.

On a brand new install of IPAserver 2.99 on Fedora 17 with bind installed. I get the following error when running the command ipactl start

Starting Directory Service
Starting KDC Service
Starting KPASSWD Service
Starting DNS Service
Job failed. See system journal and 'systemctl status' for details.
Failed to start DNS Service
Shutting down
Aborting ipactl"

The server was setup using the following commands and inputs.

Hooked server up to IPA repo

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://freeipa.org/downloads/freeipa-devel.repo

Installed nessary packages

yum -y install freeipa-server.x86_64 bind bind-dyndb-ldap

Start IPAserver configuration

ipa-server-install --setup-dns

entered the following values

The log file for this installation can be found in /var/log/ipaserver-install.log

This program will set up the IPA Server.

This includes:

  • Configure a stand-alone CA (dogtag) for certificate management
  • Configure the Network Time Daemon (ntpd)
  • Create and configure an instance of Directory Server
  • Create and configure a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC)
  • Configure Apache (httpd)
  • Configure DNS (bind)

To accept the default shown in brackets, press the Enter key.

Existing BIND configuration detected, overwrite? [no]: yes
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer
on which you're setting up server software. Using the form
.
Example: master.example.com.

Server host name [fedoraipaserver.test.example.com]:

Please confirm the domain name [test.example.com]:

The kerberos protocol requires a Realm name to be defined.
This is typically the domain name converted to uppercase.

Please provide a realm name [TEST.EXAMPLE.COM]:
Certain directory server operations require an administrative user.
This user is referred to as the Directory Manager and has full access
to the Directory for system management tasks and will be added to the
instance of directory server created for IPA.
The password must be at least 8 characters long.

Directory Manager password:
Password (confirm):

The IPA server requires an administrative user, named 'admin'.
This user is a regular system account used for IPA server administration.

IPA admin password:
Password (confirm):

Do you want to configure DNS forwarders? [yes]:no
Do you want to configure the reverse zone? [yes]:
Please specify the reverse zone name [1.24.172.in-addr.arpa.]:
Using reverse zone 1.24.172.in-addr.arpa.

The IPA Master Server will be configured with:
Hostname: fedoraipaserver.test.example.com
IP address: 172.24.1.25
Domain name: test.example.com
Realm name: TEST.EXAMPLE.COM

BIND DNS server will be configured to serve IPA domain with:
Reverse zone: 1.24.172.in-addr.arpa.

Continue to configure the system with these values? [no]: yes

would override settings in local named.conf files

Restarting the web server

Setup complete

Next steps:
1. You must make sure these network ports are open:
TCP Ports:
- 80, 443: HTTP/HTTPS
- 389, 636: LDAP/LDAPS
- 88, 464: kerberos
- 53: bind
UDP Ports:
- 88, 464: kerberos
- 53: bind
- 123: ntp

2. You can now obtain a kerberos ticket using the command: 'kinit admin'
   This ticket will allow you to use the IPA tools (e.g., ipa user-add)
   and the web user interface.

Be sure to back up the CA certificate stored in /root/cacert.p12
This file is required to create replicas. The password for this
file is the Directory Manager password
[root@ds01 ~]#

Added the following forwarder on the command line

ipa dnszone-add ipa.example.com --name-server=aaa1.ipa.example.com --force --forwarder=172.24.1.11 --forward-policy=only

I have attached the system logs when trying to perform a ipactl start

I can't reproduce the issue and it works for tsunamie now (after VM reinstallation?).
