Univention Bugzilla – Bug 33137
Only show applicable policy types on policies sub tab of forward/reverse DNS zones

A DNS forward zone allows to add all kind of policies, which don't have any effect on DNS zones, as they store only A/AAAA/CNAME/PTR/SRV/TXT RRs: Policy: Autostart Policy: Desktop Policy: DHCP Allow/Deny Policy: DHCP Boot Policy: DHCP DNS Policy: DHCP Dynamic DNS Policy: DHCP lease time Policy: DHCP NetBIOS Policy: DHCP routing Policy: DHCP statements Policy: LDAP server Policy: Mail quota Policy: Maintenance Policy: Master packages Policy: Member Server packages Policy: NFS mounts Policy: Passwords Policy: Print quota Policy: Print server Policy: Release Policy: Repository server Policy: Repository synchronisation Policy: Slave packages Policy: UMC Policy: Univention Configuration Registry Policy: Univention Directory Manager container settings To improve usability they should be removed/hidden. Best would be to hide the whole tab [Policies].

The reason for this behavior is that zones are also a container. So this bug is technically invalid. root@xen3:~# udm users/user create --position zoneName=3.2.1.in-addr.arpa,cn=dns,dc=school,dc=local --set username=blubbb --set lastname=a --set password=univention Object created: uid=blubbb,zoneName=3.2.1.in-addr.arpa,cn=dns,dc=school,dc=local But from usability standpoint we should nevertheless hide it!
Still with UCS 5.0-0 While LDAP does not put any restriction on containers UDM/UMC should least provide a warning if you put objects in the wrong location. Showing policy setting for a DNS zone, which in 99% of all use cases not appropriate, it at least confusing and leads to bad user experience. GUIs are there to *help* users, not *confuse* them.
