#1012 [RFE] Add a Kerberos provider option to set rdns=False
Closed: Invalid None Opened 12 years ago by jhrozek.

Currently, the only way to turn off reverse DNS resolution in Kerberos is to set "rdns=False" in /etc/krb5.conf. From an IRC discussion with Sumit:

< jhrozek> sbose: do you think it would be useful to set this from SSSD to e.g. set rdns to true in one domain and false in another?

< sbose> jhrozek, is the reverse lookup done for every hostname or only when no fqdn is available ?

< jhrozek> sbose: I /think/ it is for every hostname, I only tested with FQDNs

< sbose> jhrozek, ok, then I think it would make sense to make this configurable, because according to man krb5.conf the default is true and chances are that it will quite often fail with AD. If we add this option we should also recommend to use this with AD if people are not really sure the reverse lookups are configured properly in AD.

Does it have impact on the AD or IPA provider? I suspect yes. Please fork other tickets if this is the case.

The AD and IPA providers can reuse the Kerberos option just fine.

Moving all the features planned for 1.10 release into 1.10 beta.

Since rdns=false is the default for Kerberos now, I'm closing this ticket as invalid.
