Hi, Server Side: RHEL6.2 ipa-admintools-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64 ipa-client-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64 ipa-pki-ca-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch ipa-pki-common-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch ipa-python-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64 ipa-server-selinux-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64
Client Side Config: Centos 6.2 ipa-client-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64 ipa-python-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64 Issue: IPA (via sssd) requires that a hostname (as returned by the `hostname` commmand) be fully qualified. This requirement has caused us no end of grief due to ripple effects not related to IPA, it breaks other software we use which expects hostname to be not fully qualified. We don't understand why IPA & sssd require that a machine's hostname be fully qualified when `hostname --fqdn` can be used instead? In our case we had hostname setup to be the machine name as in: # hostname foo # dnsdomainname bar.com.au # hostname --fqdn foo.bar.com.au Why doesn't IPA & SSD use the value returned by `hostname --fqdn`? Why must `hostname` itself be fully qualified when `hostname --fqdn` is available?
