* Replace DNS client based on acutil with python-dnsMartin Kosek2012-05-241-469/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IPA client and server tool set used authconfig acutil module to for client DNS operations. This is not optimal DNS interface for several reasons: - does not provide native Python object oriented interface but but rather C-like interface based on functions and structures which is not easy to use and extend - acutil is not meant to be used by third parties besides authconfig and thus can break without notice Replace the acutil with python-dns package which has a feature rich interface for dealing with all different aspects of DNS including DNSSEC. The main target of this patch is to replace all uses of acutil DNS library with a use python-dns. In most cases, even though the larger parts of the code are changed, the actual functionality is changed only in the following cases: - redundant DNS checks were removed from verify_fqdn function in installutils to make the whole DNS check simpler and less error-prone. Logging was improves for the remaining checks - improved logging for ipa-client-install DNS discovery https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2730 https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1837
* Fix ipa-server-install for dual NICsMartin Kosek2012-01-221-34/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A server may have 2 or more NICs and its hostname may thus resolve to 2 and more forward addresses. IP address checks in install scripts does not expect this setup and may fail or crash. This script adds a support for multiple forward addresses for a hostname. The install scripts do not crash now. When one IP address is needed, user is asked to choose from all detected server IP addresses. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2154
* Change FreeIPA license to GPLv3+Jakub Hrozek2010-12-201-10/+9
| | | | | | | | | | The changes include: * Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only * Add GPLv3+ license text * Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones) mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/239
* Make the IPA installer IPv6 friendlyJakub Hrozek2010-12-201-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | Notable changes include: * parse AAAA records in dnsclient * also ask for AAAA records when verifying FQDN * do not use functions that are not IPv6 aware - notably socket.gethostbyname() The complete list of functions was taken from http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html section "Interface Checklist"
* Rename ipa-python directory to ipapython so it is a real python libraryRob Crittenden2009-02-091-0/+443
We used to install it as ipa, now installing it as ipapython. The rpm is still ipa-python.
