Current DNS record processing architecture has many flaws, including custom execute() methods which does not take advantage of base LDAP commands or nonstandard and confusing DNS record option processing. This patch refactors DNS record processing with the following improvements: * Every DNS record has now own Parameter type. Each DNS record consists from one or more "parts" which are also Parameters. This architecture will enable much easier implementation of future per-DNS-type API. * Validation is now not written as a separate function for every parameter but is delegated to DNS record parts. * Normalization is also delegated to DNS record parts. * Since standard LDAP base commands execute method is now used, dnsrecord-add and dnsrecord-mod correctly supports --setattr and --addattr options. * In order to prevent confusion unsupported DNS record types are now hidden. They are still present in the plugin so that old clients receive proper validation error. The patch also contains several fixes: * Fix domain-name validation and normalization- allow domain names that are not fully qualified. For example --cname-rec=bar is a valid domain-name for bind which will translate it then as bar.<owning-domain>. This change implies, that fully qualified domain names must end with '.'. * Do not let user accidentally remove entire zone with command "ipa dnsrecord-del @ --del-all". * Fix --ttl and --class option processing in dnsrecord-add and dnsrecord-mod. All API changes are compatible with clients without this patch. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2082
IPA Server
What is it?
-----------
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
credentials)
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
following weaknesses:
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
less focus on policy and audit.
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
