Prompt_for_DNS#

__NOTOC__

Overview#

DNS is an integral part of IPA, particularly when AD trust is involved. It should remain an optional feature but rather than relying on users to remember to pass an option at install time, it should be prompted for.

Use Cases#

Basic IPA installation#

Even in a simple, one master test installation letting IPA manage its own domain has advantages like automatic SRV record management. Adding additional masters is simplified and makes failover easier since DNS is automatically maintained.

AD Trust#

DNS is even more critical for a working AD trust configuration. There are a number of different ways it can be configured (parent of the domain, peer, delegated subdomain), all of which are easier and more automatically managed if IPA manages DNS itself.

Design#

The proposed solution. This may include but is not limited to:

Add a prompt for configuring bind as the first prompt in an interactive install.

Do you want to configure integrated DNS (BIND)? [no]:

The default value will be no.
