4.5. Assigning an IdM server to a DNS location using the IdM CLI

Procedure

1. Optional: List all configured DNS locations:

   [root@server ~]# ipa location-find
   -----------------------
   2 IPA locations matched
   -----------------------
   Location name: australia
   Location name: germany
   -----------------------------
   Number of entries returned: 2
   -----------------------------

2. Assign the server to the DNS location. For example, to assign the location germany to the server idmserver-01.idm.example.com, run:

   # ipa server-mod idmserver-01.idm.example.com --location=germany
   [...]
   --------------------------------------------------
   Modified IPA server "idmserver-01.idm.example.com"
   --------------------------------------------------
   Servername: idmserver-01.idm.example.com
   Min domain level: 0
   Max domain level: 1
   Location: germany
   Enabled server roles: DNS server, NTP server

3. Restart the named service on the host you assigned in the previous steps the DNS location to:

   # systemctl restart named

4. Optional: Repeat the steps to assign DNS locations to further IdM servers.
