Terraform Apply Hangs

[MaxAnderson95]

Below is my configuration:

main.tf:

provider "windns" {
  server = "dc01.example.org"
  username = "_manderson"
  password = "{redacted}"
  usessl = true
}

resource "windns" "dns" {
  record_name = "testentry1"
  record_type = "A"
  zone_name = "example.org"
  ipv4address = "192.168.1.5"
}

Terraform Version: v.13.0 (also tried v0.12.29) windns: v0.5.1

When running terraform apply the system will hang and print "still creating..." every 10 seconds until I manually stop the process. When I enable warning logs, I notice errors related to rpc.

~\Code\Terraform\test2> terraform apply -auto-approve

I've ensured that I'm able to connect to the domain controller using the credentials provided by running: New-PSSesssion -ComputerName dc01.example.org -Credential (Get-Credential) -UseSSL

Any ideas on what might be the cause?

@MaxAnderson95 can you try it with usessl = "1" instead of true? I might need to fix this in the underlying code + goPSRemoting module that's used - we swapped over to using SSH, so it's been a while since I tested this with WinRM, but just looking at the code and my example, it might need to be usessl = "1" vs usessl = true.

[MaxAnderson95]

@rayterrill Thanks for the suggestion, but that unfortunately did not produce any change in behavior.

You could try running Terraform in DEBUG mode to see if it gives any better errors.

We swapped over to SSH for similar reasons - we kept running into auth errors from Linux to Windows, and it mostly "just works" with SSH (no Transport errors). Microsoft also had been pushing people to SSH for cross-platform connectivity in many of the bugs raised for WinRM issues.

I'll try to set up another test environment for this - but currently I don't have a WinRM Linux to Windows environment available.

Hello all,

I'm also getting the same issue, Windns creates the record successfully but hangs within the TF apply. I've tried both SSH and SSL and I get the same result.

I've turned debugging on and couldn't see any useful logs,

Did anyone find a solution?

I am also encountering this issue and unable to progress with using the provider. I am able to perform a new-pssession with the credentials i'm using, and winrm is set up correctly with the certificate responding to the same hostname i'm targeting through terraform.

Are y'all running this on Windows? Can you try it out with the v0.5.2 build I just uploaded to Github (https://github.com/PortOfPortland/terraform-provider-windns/releases/tag/v0.5.2)? There was a bug in the tempfile implementation on Windows that was causing some hangs.

[rayterrill]

This should likely be resolved with the v0.5.3 build.
