I have a FreeIPA 4.2.0 on CentOS 7.2.  I have dynamic DNS updates
working for a forward zone but they are failing (NOTAUTH) for a reverse
zone.  Here are configuration of the two zones:

  dn: idnsname=example.com.,cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com
  Zone name: example.com.
  Active zone: TRUE
  Authoritative nameserver: server.example.com.
  Administrator e-mail address: hostmaster.example.com.
  SOA serial: 1464354354
  SOA refresh: 3600
  SOA retry: 900
  SOA expire: 1209600
  SOA minimum: 3600
  BIND update policy: grant EXAMPLE.COM krb5-self * A; grant EXAMPLE.COM krb5-self * AAAA; grant EXAMPLE.COM krb5-self * SSHFP; grant linux_home_nsupdate wildcard * ANY;
  Dynamic update: TRUE
  Allow query: any;
  Allow transfer: 10.75.22.1;
  mxrecord: 200 linux
  nsrecord: server.example.com.
  objectclass: idnszone, top, idnsrecord
  txtrecord: "v=spf1 a:server.klug.on.ca"


  dn: idnsname=0.8.10.in-addr.arpa.,cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com
  Zone name: 0.8.10.in-addr.arpa.
  Active zone: TRUE
  Authoritative nameserver: server.example.com.
  Administrator e-mail address: hostmaster
  SOA serial: 1464354356
  SOA refresh: 3600
  SOA retry: 900
  SOA expire: 1209600
  SOA minimum: 3600
  BIND update policy: grant EXAMPLE.COM krb5-subdomain 0.8.10.in-addr.arpa. PTR; grant linux_home_nsupdate wildcard * ANY;
  Dynamic update: TRUE
  Allow query: any;
  Allow transfer: none;
  nsrecord: server.example.com.
  objectclass: idnszone, top, idnsrecord

Here are example updates to the two zones:

When the first update is done the following is logged by named-pkcs11:

client 10.75.22.253#51414/key linux_home_nsupdate: updating zone 'example.com/IN': deleting rrset at 'chost.example.com' A
client 10.75.22.253#51414/key linux_home_nsupdate: updating zone 'example.com/IN': adding an RR at 'chost.example.com' A

Nothing is logged for the second update attempt.

Any ideas why one is working and the other is not?

Cheers,
b.
