Integrate new bind-dyndb-ldap features to automatically track
DNS data changes:
1) Zone refresh
Set --zone-refresh in installation to define number of seconds
between bind-dyndb-ldap polls for new DNS zones. User now
doesn't have to restart name server when a new zone is added.
2) New zone notifications
Use LDAP persistent search mechanism to immediately get
notification when any new DNS zone is added. Use --zone-notif
install option to enable. This option is mutually exclusive
with Zone refresh.
To enable this functionality in existing IPA installations,
update a list of arguments for bind-dyndb-ldap in /etc/named.conf.
An example when zone refresh is disabled and DNS data change
notifications (argument psearch of bind-dyndb-ldap) are enabled:
dynamic-db "ipa" {
...
arg "zone_refresh 0";
arg "psearch yes";
};
This patch requires bind-dyndb-ldap-1.0.0-0.1.b1 or later.

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.
