#1481 Force Add Host with IP address - Allows cancel but still adds host and dns record
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by rcritten.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=722228

If you attempt to add a valid host with the correct DNS domain and specify an IP address that does not match any reverse zone (do not select force), the UI gives you the option to cancel or retry.

There is an error message that states "The host was added but the DNS update failed with: DNS reverse zone for IP address 10.10.10.10 not found"

Yet you have the option to cancel ... if you select cancel, the host is still added and so is the A record.

- Install IPA with integrated DNS  
- Identity --> Hosts ---> Add
- enter a valid FQDN hostname and an IP address that does not match any reverse zone and select Add

Actual results:

Error message stating that the host record was added (no clue that the DNS forward record was added) - but given the option to cancel.

Expected results:

Error message stating that the reverse zone for the IP address was not found and to select force if you really want to add the records. And an option to cancel (nothing added)


By the time you see this dialog the host has already been added.The cancel button is generic error handling. We should probably treat this as as "success" case and not show the cancel and retry dialog, but instead show an informational message with an OK button, and then the user can choose to delete it from the search page.
