[Freeipa-users] DDNS with DHCPD and IPA

[Andy Tomlin]

Awesome, adding the grant line with my key (DDNS_UPDATE) did the trick. This
makes it perform exactly like old config.

Thanks for the help. Someone should put this example in the docs.

This assumes dhcp and named are on the same system. 

For an unrelated project I wrote some docs here:

http://tollgate.readthedocs.org/en/3.0.1/fedora-deploy.html#core-network

And the example config files referenced are:

https://github.com/micolous/tollgate/tree/master/docs/example/fedora

The important parts are:

rndc-confgen -a -r keyboard -b 256
chown named:named /etc/rndc.key

In named.conf add after the options section:

include "/etc/rndc.key";

In the zone (In ipa you will need to add this permission)

grant rndc-key wildcard * ANY;

Then in dhcpd:


include                 "/etc/rndc.key";

And to the dhcpd range:


	zone dhcp.example.lan. {
		primary 127.0.0.1;
		key     "rndc-key";
	}


	zone 0.4.10.in-addr.arpa. {
		primary 127.0.0.1;
		key "rndc-key";
	}


This should coexist peacefully with freeipa, but try to make sure your DDNS
updated zone is say dhcp.example.com rather than a zone you care about.
Consider you have a domain controller called x.example.com, and you allow
DDNS to example.com. If someone set their hostname to x, they could take
over the DNS records for your DC. Better to have a second zone to prevent
this.
