#3429 BIND: deprecate tsig-gssapi-credential configuration option and use modern tkey-gssapi-keytab option
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by pspacek.

We use obsolete BIND configuration options for TKEY-GSSAPI configuration. The modern option eases debugging because GSSAPI work without any mystic KRB5* environment variables.

This change is also requirement for bind-dyndb-ldap ticket #100 - "BIND won't start when KDC is unavailable - reconnect is missing". Old options do some checks during BIND start and BIND can die if KDC is unavailable.

In /etc/named.conf replace:

tkey-gssapi-credential "DNS/vm-070.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com";
tkey-domain "R.TEST";

with

tkey-gssapi-keytab "/etc/named.keytab";

It is good idea to do this replacement for new installs and also upgrades. I tested this change on IPA 3.0 under RHEL 6.4 and it worked like a charm.
