Description Felix Botner

At the moment there is no limit for the windows/domain (NETBIOS Domain Name) in system setup.

Comment 1 Alexander Kläser

Currently, the domain name will be converted automatically to a NETBIOS compatible domain name (example-domain.local → EXAMPLE-DOMAIN). The limit of 15 characters is not checked/enforced at the moment.

Do we need the NETBIOS domain during the S4 setup? If not, we could limit the NETBIOS domain. The value can later be changed via UCR. If we need it during the setup, we should re-add the field.

This issue has been filed against UCS 3. UCS 3 is out of the normal maintenance and many UCS components have vastly changed in UCS 4.

If this issue is still valid, please change the version to a newer UCS version otherwise this issue will be automatically closed in the next weeks.

Enforcing a 15 character limit of the domain name now.

FYI: In the back end the 15 character limit is already enforced by now (see commit ec5ad3045e0c57c7bafb2652a51c4265a0f741e7 for Bug #31771 ).

That's just an autopep8 commit with no functional change (hopefully).

git blame ec5ad3045e0c57c7bafb2652a51c4265a0f741e7^ base/univention-system-setup/umc/python/setup/util.py

shows f56260bed79 as origin of that line, which has been made for Bug #36459. So, as discussed via email, my impression is that we should not impose a limit on a part of the DNS domain name here that potentially disturbs customers that a) have longer domain names or b) even don't run Samba.

As discussed with Arvid I took the changes back. This bug was already solved in the scope of Bug #36459.
