[Freeipa-users] FQDN Hostname Requirement

[freeipa at noboost.org]

Hi All,

Spec:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago)
ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64

Issue:
I made a post a while back regarding IPA and the forcing of the hostname
to be a FQDN entry, rather than utilising `hostname --fqdn`

ref: https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2012-March/msg00012.html

Has this issue ever been addressed? As I've now bumped into an issue
with RSA Securid Auth Manager 6.1, which will not work on a server with
more than 27 characters in the hostname. Sadly our hostname does break
this is some cases.

cya
