Thank you, Flo. I don't appear to have any replication conflicts affecting this.

Hi,

There may be some replication conflicts that prevent the deletion of your reverse zone.

1. Find the entry DN corresponding to your zone with
ipa dnszone-show <yourzone> --all --raw

The output will display a LDAP DN similar to dn: idnsname=zone,cn=dns,dc=yourbasedn

2. Check if there are any replication conflicts below this LDAP entry:
ldapsearch -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -b dc=yourbasedn "(&(objectClass=ldapSubEntry)(nsds5ReplConflict=*))" \* nsds5ReplConflict

If you find any conflict entry below idnsname=zone,cn=dns,dc=yourbasedn, you can remove them with ldapdelete -D "cn=directory manager" -W dn_to_remove

For more information on replication conflicts, you can read https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_directory_server/12/html/configuring_and_managing_replication/assembly_solving-common-replication-problems_configuring-and-managing-replication

HTH,

My network topology has changed and I'd like to remove a reverse DNS zone that is no longer applicable. When I try to delete the zone, I get an error "Not allowed on non-leaf entry." The only entry in the zone is the "@" record name with two NS entries corresponding to my two FreeIPA name servers. When I try to delete the "@" record, I get another error "invalid 'del_all': Zone record '@' cannot be deleted."

I seem to be caught between these two safety checks. What is the proper way to completely remove a reverse DNS zone from FreeIPA (freeipa-server-4.13.1-13.fc44.x86_64)? --
