Description William Brown 2014-03-13 23:57:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
Joining a host to a freeipa domain never creates AAAA records if dual stacked, and in a pure IPv6 environment there are many other issues: for example, service checks seem to only check if a name is resolveable on A records. Finally, even once joined, dns record updates don't (seem) to create or update AAAA records on the domain network. 

1) ipa-join should be able to handle
* v4 only
* v4 and v6 (Uploading both A and AAAA records and PTRs)
* v6 only 
2) service checks should check both A and AAAA and provided *one* of these exists it should validate.

In general, I think that freeipa needs more ipv6-only network testing .... 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freeipa-3.3.4
Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2014-03-14 01:18:07 UTC 
This seems somewhat related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952676 and closed ticket https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/909 (closed worksforme though not sure why)
Comment 2 Martin Kosek 2014-03-14 07:43:53 UTC 
Also related ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4164 - already scheduled for 4.0.

You are definitely right we should do more IPv6-only testing. There were several related efforts and bugfixes:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2913
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2695

We occasionally do test and fix IPv6, but sometimes a bug slips in. I will open an upstream ticket for this issue.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 22:24:21 UTC 
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 5 William Brown 2015-01-11 00:25:24 UTC 
I'll do an ipv6 only install later to confirm is this issue is fixed now.
