Description Timo Denissen

When creating a new school, the hostname for the new school server can begin with an uppercase character (eg. School1). When trying to install a server with the very same name (eg. School1.example.com) the installation wizard complains that the FQDN must be lowercase (eg. school1.example.com).

When creating a new school and the hostname begins with an uppercase character, it should be shown as warning.

The bug is against the wrong component, what really was meant is the following:
If you open the UCS@school installer to install a "Administrative server" you have to enter the hostname of the "Name of educational school server *".
This allows a normal regex of a hostname (regExp: '^[a-zA-Z0-9](([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)([a-zA-Z0-9]$))?$',).

The problem is that univention-system-setup in the appliance mode does not allow a valid hostname to be entered when installing a UCS system:
is_hostname.RE = re.compile("^[a-z]([a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])*$")

I am closing this bug as WORKSFORME then.

Is there a valid reason, that USS does not accept uppercase characters as hostname? If not, did you open a bug agaist USS? If yes, it should be fixed in UCS@school.
Is the join successful, if a camel case name as e.g. administrative server has been specified and the host is installed with a merely lowercase host name?

I don't see any valid reason, opened Bug #37816.
