Dns name resolution rhel
Beta Feature
Please be aware that the Anyware Connector on RHEL/Rocky Linux is only currently available in a beta version. As such, this feature may change as it is developed, and it will not be supported by Teradici Global Support Services. Features in the beta version are considered not yet ready for full production and you use them at your own risk.
In order to install and configure Anyware Manager or Connector on the RHEL or Rocky Linux machine, it's important to ensure that there is a solid connection between the machine and the Active Directory Domain Controller. You need to ensure that you can route from this machine to the Domain Controller and that there is nothing to prevent port 443 (https) and port 636 (LDAPS) connecting between the two systems.
The following steps are to ensure DNS settings are configured properly on the machine for Anyware Manager or Connector to operate. The sample IP of the Domain Controller is 10.162.0.42
for example-domain.com
:
-
Disable auto-configuration of DNS settings in order to prevent setting being overwritten on reboot. In this example the device name is
eth0
:nmcli device modify eth0 ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes
You may also need to disable this on the connection level in some cases. In this example the connection name is
eth0
:nmcli connection modify eth0 ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes
-
Edit the Network Configuration scripts. Add the
DNS1
for the IP address for Active Directory's DNS server (typically the Domain Controller itself) and optionallyDNS2
for the fallback DNS server. You can optionally addDOMAIN
for a DNS suffix (typically the Domain name):3. Run the following command to restart the Network Manager:sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 TYPE=Ethernet PROXY_METHOD=none BROWSER_ONLY=no BOOTPROTO=dhcp DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no NAME=ens192 UUID=dfe16427-21f1-429c-99cb-a1e9b42be181 DEVICE=ens192 ONBOOT=yes DNS1=10.162.0.42 DOMAIN=example-domain.com PEERDNS=no
4. Check thesudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
/etc/resolv.conf
file to make sure that the desired DNS servers and search suffixes are there. It is important the thenameservers
are the AD DNS or else the machine will fail to connect to the Domain Controller(s):5. Test DNS by pinging the domain, in this examplecat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by NetworkManager search example-domain.com nameserver 10.162.0.42
example-domain.com
is the domain name:6. If the response is successful, you should receive a message similar to the example below:ping example-domain.com
7. Reboot the machine and check that the DNS settings inPING example-domain.com (10.162.0.42): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.162.0.42: icmp_seq=0 ttl=118 time=16.622 ms 64 bytes from 10.162.0.42: icmp_seq=1 ttl=118 time=50.675 ms 64 bytes from 10.162.0.42: icmp_seq=2 ttl=118 time=27.682 ms 64 bytes from 10.162.0.42: icmp_seq=3 ttl=118 time=19.886 ms ^C --- example-domain.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
/etc/resolv.conf
persist and that you can still ping the domain as done in steps 4-6.
Applying Host Machines DNS settings to K3S
The host machine's DNS settings are copied from /etc/resolv.conf
and applied to the Anyware Manager and/or CAS Connector when the CAS K3S service starts. Because of this it is important that settings are correct on boot. You will need to either reboot the machine or restart the K3S service to apply the DNS settings to the Anyware Manager or CAS Connector if changes are made post installation or configuration.
It is best to ensure DNS settings are correct before installing and CAS software on the machine.
