Hi,
I have some hosts with partially uppercase hostnames that I want to install ipa-client
on.
On a test machine called Centos6, I installed ipa-client, let it change the hostname to
centos6 and then changed the hostname back to Centos6.
It seems to have worked, but am I exposing myself to potential problems down the track?
This is how it looks now:
-sh-4.2$ hostname
Centos6.myclients.example.com
-sh-4.2$ cat default.conf
#File modified by ipa-client-install
[global]
basedn = dc=my,dc=example,dc=com
realm =
MY.EXAMPLE.COM
domain =
my.example.com
server =
centos4.my.example.com
host =
centos6.my.example.com
xmlrpc_uri =
https://centos4.my.example.com/ipa/xml
enable_ra = True
# klist -k
Keytab name: FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
KVNO Principal
---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 host/centos6.my.example.com(a)MY.EXAMPLE.COM
1 host/centos6.my.example.com(a)MY.EXAMPLE.COM
The server seems quite happy to believe what it is being told about the clients identity.
