Greg Hill commented on AMBARI-12916:
------------------------------------
Every web server in existence lets you configure the hostname of the site
you're serving. It's extremely common for a website's hostname to not match
the system hostname of the machine it runs on. Ambari should also allow you to
control this. I don't get why I'm getting so much pushback on it.
> Make API server hostname for views configurable

> The views that need to get data from the Ambari API use the system hostname
> to connect to the Ambari API. The problem is that the API could be
> configured with an SSL cert for a domain name other than the system hostname,
> and if you connect to it using the hostname, you will get SSL validation
> errors. Simply adding an optional hostname to the Ambari configs that will
> be used here would make it much easier to work in this sort of setup.
