account: Ask domain admin for unique hostname if realmd says its bad (15.78 KB, patch)
2013-05-26 13:46 UTC, Stef Walter 		committed Details | Review

Description Matthias Clasen 2013-05-22 19:16:16 UTC 
This is required to make some 'Enterprise Login' scenarios work. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=965888 for background.

Some details:

- adding a manual entry for hostname is a workaround (Stef says we may be able to deal with this in realmd in the long term)

- this is only needed for enterprise login, so we may want to put it there (network page is not suitable, since we skip it if there's a network connection)

- we should only show the hostname entry if no hostname is set yet, since it should not be changed after the fact for identity-managed machines

account: Ask domain admin for unique hostname if realmd says its bad

When realmd tells us the hostname is not accessible put up the admin
prompt dialog, and ask for a new host name. This really does fit
conceptually in the domain admin prompt, since domain admin can guarantee
a unique name for the machine.
