Nameserver hostname passed to dnszone_add command was always treated as FQDN even though it was a relative DNS name to the new zone. All relative names were being rejected as unresolvable. Modify --name-server option processing in dnszone_add and dnszone_mod to respect FQDN/relative DNS name and do the checks accordingly. With this change, user can add a new zone "example.com" and let dnszone_add to create NS record "ns" in it, when supplied with its IP address. IP address check is more strict so that it is not entered when no forward record is created. Places misusing the option were fixed. Nameserver option now also accepts zone name, which means that NS and A record is placed to DNS zone itself. Also "@" is accepted as a nameserver name, BIND understand it also as a zone name. As a side-effect of this change, other records with hostname part (MX, KX, NS, SRV) accept "@" as valid hostname. BIND replaces it with respective zone name as well. Unit tests were updated to test the new format. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3204
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.
