29.7. DoT configuration options for ipa-server-install and ipa-dns-install


Learn about the available configuration options for enabling eDNS in your IdM deployment. You can use the same options to enable eDNS during a new IdM server installation using the ipa-server-install or to modify an existing installation using the ipa-dns-install command.

  • --dns-over-tls enables DoT
  • --dot-forwarder specifies upstream DoT servers using the --dot-forwarder <server_ip_1>#<dns_server_hostname_1> --dot-forwarder <server_ip_2>#<dns_server_hostname_2> format. For example, if dot.dns.example.com is the name of your upstream DoT server and 198.51.100.143 is its IP address, set --dot-forwarder to 198.51.100.143#dot.dns.example.com.
  • --dns-over-tls-key and --dns-over-tls-cert to configure custom keys and certificates
  • --dns-policy sets the DNS security policy

    • --dns-policy=relaxed allows both encrypted (DoT) and unencrypted DNS queries. The system attempts to use DoT but falls back to unencrypted DNS if DoT is unavailable. This is the default policy.
    • --dns-policy=enforced requires only encrypted DNS communication. The system strictly enforces DoT, and rejects any DNS resolution that does not support encryption, including discovery from IdM clients and replicas.

For more details about the configuration options see the DNS OPTIONS section in the ipa-server-install(1) and the ipa-dns-install(1) man page on your system.
