第 7 章 Configuring DNS and realm settings for a trust

In Windows, every domain is a Kerberos realm and a DNS domain at the same time. Every domain managed by the domain controller needs to have its own dedicated DNS zone. The same applies when Identity Management (IdM) is trusted by Active Directory (AD) as a forest. AD expects IdM to have its own DNS domain. For the trust setup to work, the DNS domain must be dedicated to the Linux environment.

Each system must have its own unique primary DNS domain configured. For example:

The most convenient management solution is an environment where each DNS domain is managed by integrated DNS servers, but it is possible to use any other standard-compliant DNS server as well.

You can acquire a list of the required SRV records specific to your system setup by running the following command:

$ ipa dns-update-system-records --dry-run

The generated list can look for example like this:

IPA DNS records:
  _kerberos-master._tcp.idm.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 88 server.idm.example.com.
  _kerberos-master._udp.idm.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 88 server.idm.example.com.
  _kerberos._tcp.idm.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 88 server.idm.example.com.
  _kerberos._tcp.idm.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 88 server.idm.example.com.
  _kerberos.idm.example.com. 86400 IN TXT "IDM.EXAMPLE.COM"
  _kpasswd._tcp.idm.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 464 server.idm.example.com.
  _kpasswd._udp.idm.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 464 server.idm.example.com.
  _ldap._tcp.idm.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 100 389 server.idm.example.com.
  _ipa-ca.idm.example.com. 86400 IN A 192.168.122.2

For other DNS domains that are part of the same IdM realm, it is not required for the SRV records to be configured when the trust to AD is configured. The reason is that AD domain controllers do not use SRV records to discover KDCs but rather base the KDC discovery on name suffix routing information for the trust.
