Description Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2015-12-10 13:37:01 CET
UMC System Setup AD-Connection fails if the Netbios name is longer than 15 characters.

The UMC should check that the Netbios/hostname is not longer than 15 characters.
There is a check in UMC/modules/setup/__init__.py, but to me it looks like it is only blocking ("critical") if either univention-samba or univention-samba4 are selected for installation.

We need to ensure that this limit is also enforced when doing an AD-Connection setup.

This is the relevant part from setup.log:

Comment 5 Johannes Keiser univentionstaff 2017-07-06 12:15:59 CEST
OK The hostname is restricted to a maximum of 13 characters

YAML: OK (r 80913 | 80914 - adjusted line length and typo)

-> verified
