[Samba] DC2: TKEY is unacceptable, Failed DNS update?

[mathias dufresne]

Hi,

Are you using Samba's internal DNS or Bind?

If you are using Bind9_DLZ as dns-backend it should be a right issue on
files used by Bind itself (ie private/dns.keytab, private/named.conf,
private/dns or private/dns/* and of course private itself).

If you are running internal DNS as backend, you can change that parameter
into smb.conf:
from: allow dns updates = secure only (default, not necessarily written
into smb.conf)
to: allow dns updates = unsecure
And after restarting samba the command "samba_dnsupdate" should work
without error.

The Samba wiki told for some time you should use BIND9_DLZ backend for DNS
if you have a complex DNS configuration. Two DC could be a complex
configuration... especially if you want them to be on different network.

Another issue with internal DNS: when AD DNS is supposed to be multi-master
(each DNS server reply "I am SOA" for every DNS server is able to receive
DNS updates and push them into AD DB) with internal DNS the only one DNS
server replying "I am SOA" is the one declared as SOA into AD DB.
Here the issue is simple: if the DC declared as SOA into AD is down, no DNS
server would handle DNS updates as they are not SOA...

In short: if you want to get rid of DNS issues stop using internal DNS
which is not yet ready. Replace it by BIND9_DLZ which is really easy and
you will start to love DNS management : )

Cheers, and sorry to have again misspoken about internal DNS backend...
