What must be done in or on the ipa server with regard to DNS, if anything?

Our DNS works. It works well. We have four Linux DNS servers and two AD domain controllers that also do DNS.

So if we already have DNS working well in our domain, why do we want to manage DNS in IPA?

Let us keep the discussion on the list.
IPA when used with AD trust presents itself as a separate forest. AD thinks that it is working with another AD forest. For that to work we need to follow MSFT rules about relationship between Kerberos realm and DNS domain. AD assumes that for every trusted forest Kerberos realm = DNS domain. IPA makes it easy to do because it has integrated tools to manage IPA DNS domain. If you want to manage it yourself through your DNS you can do it, just more manual operations for you.

    Thanks guys. I'm sorry for my delay in responding.

    Firstly, I was under the impression (from reading the docs) that
    having named running on IPA server was critical.

    Properly configured DNS is critical.
    How you accomplish it is up to you.
    IPA allows you to have a DNS server that would simplify DNS
    management but it can be done manually too. This is why DNS is
    optional.


    Also, the first question the ipa-server-install script asks is,
    "Do you want to configure integrated DNS (BIND)? ." While it's
    true the default answer is no, it leads one to believe that DNS
    is central to IPA. Also the ipa-client-install script says,

    [root@freeipa-poc-client02 ~]# ipa-client-install
    DNS discovery failed to determine your DNS domain
    Provide the domain name of your IPA server (ex: example.com
    <http://example.com>):

    I can resolve -anything- from the machine using dig or whatever.

    Ultimately, the reason I started to be concerned about my IPA
    server's DNS config was because I was not able to authenticate AD
    accounts to a client machine. I saw a bunch of errors in the
    client's sssd logs which of course I can't find now.

    Perhaps it was these . . .

    I'm not allowed onto the AD domain controllers to examine log
    files or I'd be checking those first.

    So ultimately the goal is to authenticate AD users and users that
    exist in our ldap schema. We need to set up groups of users that
    can run sudo commands on specific groups of hosts.

    Did you setup trusts as explained on the following page?

        I agree with Dmitri, we need more information from you:
        - You said "my new VM can't resolve -anything- in the domain
        in which it
        lives." - Which domain do you mean?

        - Apparently you have configured FreeIPA to serve zone
        e-bozo.com <http://e-bozo.com>. Do you have
        this zone configured on some other DNS server at the same time?

        Please keep in mind that authoritative servers should share
        the database. You
        will get naming collisions if e-bozo.com <http://e-bozo.com>
        is served by FreeIPA DNS servers and
        some other servers at the same time. Maybe that is the
        problem you see right now.

        As Dmitri said, the architecturally correct solution is to
        decide if you want
        to use FreeIPA DNS or not. You have option to either remove
        non-FreeIPA DNS
        servers and import data to FreeIPA or to add FreeIPA-specific
        DNS records to
        existing DNS servers and do not configure FreeIPA to act as
        DNS server.
