[Fedora-directory-users] Host name resolution when connecting to administration server

[François Beretti]

Hi,

when you connect with the console to a remote administration server,
the server does a host name based access control. If you want to give
access to any host, you can set the host name mask to "*".

But if the host name DNS resolution fails, even if the mask is "*",
the authorization fails (HTTP 401: authorization required).

In my environment it is a problem to put every client host in the DNS
system used by the server.

How can I bypass the hostname verification of the administration server ?


Thank you

François
