Tiger: servermgr complains of host name; Dunno where it's getting it

My Mac OS X Server 10.4.11 has started hanging on any service requiring authentication. The accompanying logs show nothing except repeated complaints that the host name (Tower of Art) doesn't match the DNS name (www.example.com). It warns that various services will be impaired, so I assume that's why authentication is impaired.
Well, OK. From back in ancient days, the computer name in System Preferences > Sharing did give the name "Tower of Art". I changed the name to "www.example.com", and rebooted.
The same problems recur, down to the complaint that the host name is Tower of Art. I've done a recursive grep of /var/named/* and /etc/named.conf, and the string "Tower" doesn't appear in any of them. I've tried a couple of iterations of changeip, but I'm not sure I have the syntax right. Should it be:
changeip - 192.168.0.150 192.168.0.150 'Tower of Art' www.example.com
? I am not hosting any sort of directory service. My impression is that /etc/hostname is the next place to look, but I'm away from the machine and, of course, I can't log in.
I admit I'm ignorant. I'd be extremely grateful for any leads.

Now that I've rebooted, torn my DNS zone down (in Server Admin), and rebuilt from scratch (in Server Admin), I can provide more lucid details.
All external host names and WAN IPs are redacted.
My machine, example.com, is behind a DSL router. It has a static IP on the LAN, 192.168.1.105, translated to 77.77.77.77 on the WAN. I used Server Admin to configure DNS for the WAN address. There is no setting for the LAN IP anywhere in named.conf or /var/named.
When I run _changeip -checkhostname_, I am given this:
Primary address = 192.168.1.105
Current HostName = example.com
DNS HostName = Tower of Art
To fix the hostname please run /usr/sbin/changeip for your system with the
appropriate directory with the following values
/usr/sbin/changeip <node> 192.168.1.105 192.168.1.105 example.com Tower of Art
example:
/usr/sbin/changeip /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 192.168.1.105 192.168.1.105 example.com Tower of Art
Further, this is what I get from _host 192.168.1.105_:
105.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer Tower\032of\032Art.
I don't know where this is coming from. The system-preferences Sharing panel did, once upon a time, have the machine name "Tower of Art". It's now changed to example.com . But the same panel says I should log in with "ssh fritza@tower of art".
So the old, old name seems to be sticking around. _grep -ir 'tower of art' /etc_ turns up nothing. The same on /var will take a while, and may involve a lot of groveling-through.
I know this is different from what I initially said it was, but I'm still baffled. Could someone please help me?

Error:
unknown smtp host: hostname

and the one included in the code blow.You have written "hostname" in the code below. Since "hostname" is certainly NOT a valid SMTP host name,
that's why you get the error: unknown smtp host: hostname.
What did you expect? You must provide a valid SMTP host name, NOT "hostname". You see the difference right?
Try with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) SMTP host name.
It should be something like: stmp.somename.com.
That's the one you must set in your email client (Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, Lotus Notes, whatever) to send your emails.

Changing host name of OID repository... Where do I need to make changes?

We are moving our OID metadata repository to a different host and Im curious where I need to make the modifications in our OID installation to accommodate the new host name.
Things we have already done:
1) Modified and pushed out the new tnsnames.ora file.
2) ODM -> Entry Management -> Oracle Context Made changes to a) orclnetdescstring b) cn=OID -> cn=Description_0 -> cn=Address_List_0 -> cn=Address_0 -> orclnetaddressstring
3) Updated the %ORACLE_HOME%\OraHome\sysman\emd\targets.xml
After these changes were made, completed rebooted the system. OID seems to be working, however if I open a command prompt and 'tnsping OID' I still get the old host name, however if I fully qualify it, 'tnsping OID.xxx.local' it finds the correct host name....
Am I missing an update somewhere that causes tnsping to not find the correct host for the repository? Can I update the current repository registration via oracle tool?
Thanks

If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:

Need list of places where the portal configures the exchange host name

Hello,
Our exchange server is changing it's host name.
Can anyone please give me a list of <b>detailed places</b> at the portal, admin tool and config tool where I should apply this change?
Regards,
Roy

it is stored as encrypted nameNo it isn't. It is stored in a format defined in this case by Windows. There is no encryption here.
I want to know the list of unicode characters which are affecting the file namingIt would be considerably more sensible to find out the characters that are legal in filenames. There are a lot fewer of those ;-)
Personally I just use the ASCII characters excluding & and /.

Login problem with E-Recruiting URL, where check host name?

Hi,
I've set up a standard Recruiter user and assigned him the standard Recruiter security profile. When I run RCF_GENERATE_URLS, I get this URL:
http://iwdfvm2160.wdf.sap.corp:51080/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int?sap-client=200&sap-language=EN&rcfSpId=0003
But I get an "internal error" when I login with my User. Our server's host name is iwdfvm2160.gcsap.com, but the program isn't resolving this. This is probably the cause of the error, but how can I get it to pick up our host name?
We are on E-Recruiting version 6, and it's running on the same box as HCM.
Thanks, Vlad

Hello Vlad,
usually the links generated from the report are correct. Only very rare problem might be in the network structure of your company that the internal dns servers can't resolve the server name or the sap servers are in a not reachable network segmant as you never worked with http access to the servers for other applicatiohns.
But if you log on the first time with your user and have not been working with the application yet, the more probable reason for this error is the missing candidate for e-recruiting. Without a candidate you won't be able to work with the application.
Check transaction SLG1. There should be an error "No candidate for User <your username>" or sth. similar.
If so run report RCF_CREATE_USER to get a candidate. Then you should be able to log on.
If you already have a candidate and cannot login check SLG1 and SM21 for error messages. If there are any but you don't feel able to solve the logged problem. Just post the message here. I think someone will be able to help.
Best Regards
Roman Weise

10.5 server changes host name when changed to be member of 10.4 OD Master

Hi,
I have a Xserve with 10.4.11. This is my working OD master hostname: AAA, FQDN: AAA.domain, realm DOMAIN. Now I have a PowerMac G5, hostname BBB, FQDN BBB.domain, where I install 10.5 server.
When it comes up as stand alone, the hostname is BBB (FQDN BBB.domain), but when I then connect it (as domain member) to my OD master, it promts me to say that "AAA" is a used hostname and that it changes hostname to" AAA (2)".
In my DNS it is still identified as BBB.domain, and it is bind to the realm as BBB.
Why does it act like this?
Subsequently I can't get kerberos to work and SMB does not want to be a member of the domain (always get back to standalone instead of becoming member of the domain).

Here comes a bit more on this one. I waited and maybe this had to do with having a OD master in Tiger and the OD member on Leopard. But now both are in Leopard. And things are the same.
I have thou been studying the Console after some tips. And I'm changing the host name in Server Admin/Network to BBB (what it should be). And it seems to work fine. Name of the server changes where supposed to (what I can see). And in Console I can se that the administration tool changes host name in a variety of places.
And now I wait.
If I do nothing (the network is pretty small), nothing happens. But after a while, I login with for example Remote desktop the followingapears in Console:
+Jan 3 12:58:02 emil mDNSResponder[30]: User updated Computer Name from AAA (2) to AAA+
+Jan 3 12:58:02 emil mDNSResponder[30]: afpovertcp.tcp. service renamed from "AAA (2)" to "AAA"+

+Jan 3 12:58:03 emil mDNSResponder[30]: sftp-ssh.tcp. service renamed from "AAA" to "AAA (2)"+
+Jan 3 12:58:03 emil mDNSResponder[30]: servermgr.tcp. service renamed from "AAA" to "AAA (2)"+
+Jan 3 12:58:03 emil mDNSResponder[30]: rfb.tcp. service renamed from "AAA" to "AAA (2)"+
+Jan 3 12:58:03 emil mDNSResponder[30]: ldap.tcp. service renamed from "AAA" to "AAA (2)"+
+Jan 3 12:58:03 emil mDNSResponder[30]: net-assistant.udp. service renamed from "AAA" to "AAA (2)"+
+Jan 3 12:58:03 emil mDNSResponder[30]: adisk.tcp. service renamed from "AAA" to "AAA (2)"+
+Jan 3 12:58:03 emil mDNSResponder[30]: User updated Computer Name from AAA to AAA (2)+
+Jan 3 12:58:03 emil mDNSResponder[30]: User updated Local Hostname from AAA to AAA-2+
+Jan 3 12:58:03 emil mDNSResponder[30]: mDNS_SetFQDN - hostname unchanged+
"AAA (2) to AAA" may as well be "BBB to AAA". But I'm very surprised over that the logg claims that "User updated Computer name..." For all I know, I haven't. And note in the middle here that the mDNSResponder changes to AAA (which indeed is used - it's the OD master!!!), discovers that the name is in use, and then changes to "AAA (2)".
But why does it at all initiate a change from AAA to "AAA (2)"?
Why can't I call the server BBB?

Host Name Changes?

Frequentlly, we get "this computer's local host name on the network is changed to 1234567654-1 because it determines that the original host name "is already in use." This doesn't make network peripherals and communication between our two computers very easy because we need to constantly change it in Sharing to share the printer etc... . When we get the notice, we change the name (number) back to the original and it seems fine for awhile and then returns...
I can find no apparent cause?
Thanks!

I've had the same or a similar issue. My computer was constantly renaming itself with a (2) every time it booted, after a system lockup. I tracked the issue down to CD/DVD sharing... when turned off the problem went away.
When CD/DVD sharing was on, I could not change the name back to the original version, it would get rejected and immediately set back to the version with "(2)", displaying the message:
+The name of your computer "Name" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "Name (2)" automatically.+
With CD/DVD sharing turned off, I could name my computer whatever I liked, even back to the original name. Turning DVD/CD sharing back on again would instantly rename my Mac. It's very persistent bug!
Fortunately I found a fix. I was able to get rid of the problem by toggling Bonjour, as described here:
http://tech.karbassi.com/2007/11/06/leopard-turn-off-bonjour-mdnsresponder/
To turn Bonjour off:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
To turn it back on:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
Toggling Bonjour (mDNSResponder) forced a reset of something on my system somewhere, and now I no longer see the issue on reboot, even with CD/DVD sharing turned on. I can turn sharing on and off at will, and my computer is never renamed. Success!
I don't think this problem has to do with CD/DVD sharing specifically... I think it's a bug in Bonjour. I've seen threads where people have complained about this issue because of printer sharing, or remote management! My guess is that a crash can cause a mDNSResponder config corruption, tricking Bonjour to share devices or services using the same name as your computer, forcing the name conflict.
In any case, I hope this fix works for you too. I know I'm a lot happier now that there isn't a lingering issue on my box!

Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

Hi,
I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
Thanks in advance and good luck!
John

I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
Unfortunately you were misinformed.
My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
What is the "host name" supposed to be?
This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
Off hand, I don't know.
Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

Web Dynpro Application URL Host Name Not Correct

Hello,
I am developing a web dynpro application in our development system but when I activate the application it gets a URL that points to our test system. When I test the application in HTTP Service (SICF) the URL for the development system is passed to the browser. WHere do you maintain the host that is being used to build the URL for the web dynpro application when it is activated.
Thanks,

Entry for host name is missing or empty (Secure Store key: admin/host/).

Hi All,
I am in the process of installing EP7 on SLES9 and MaxDB 7.6 on a clustered HA environment where the SCS, DB and JC components are installed under and referenced by their virtual hostname (eg. sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME <virt name>).
The SCS instance is installed, the Database Instance is installed and I'm currently in the process of Installing the JC and Deploying the EP packages.
During the installation, SDM is put into standalone mode and sapinst tries to deploy the package EPBC06_0.SCA where it fails and the sdm_server.err shows :
"com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.TargetEngineConfigurationException: Cannot retrieve Engine logon data from Secure Store: Entry for host name is missing or empty (Secure Store key: admin/host/). at com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.InQMyTargetSystemConfigurator.getLoginDataFromSecStoreInQMyTargetSystemConfigurator.java:286) at com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.InQMyTargetSystemConfigurator.getEngineLoginDataInQMyTargetSystemConfigurator.java:197) at com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.EngineStateServiceImpl.determineCurrentEngineStateEngineStateServiceImpl.java:53) at com.sap.sdm.app.proc.deployment.states.State.determineJ2EEEngineState(State.java:97) at com.sap.sdm.app.proc.deployment.states.StateBeforeFirstDeployment.getJ2EEEngineStateChangeDescriptionStateBeforeFirstDeployment.java:75) at com.sap.sdm.app.view.proc.deployment.mapper.StateMapper.map(StateMapper.java:56) at com.sap.sdm.app.view.proc.deployment.mapper.FlowMapper.map(FlowMapper.java:28) at com.sap.sdm.app.view.session.AppViewUpdater.updateAppView(AppViewUpdater.java:22) at com.sap.sdm.app.view.session.AppViewUpdater.sessionStateChanged(AppViewUpdater.java:18) at com.sap.sdm.app.proc.deployment.impl.SessionStateObserversImpl.notifySessionStateChangedSessionStateObserversImpl.java:46) at com.sap.sdm.app.proc.deployment.states.InstContext.processEventServerSide(InstContext.java:85) at com.sap.sdm.app.proc.deployment.states.InstContext.processEvent(InstContext.java:59) at com.sap.sdm.app.view.controllers.DeployEventProcessor.processEvent(DeployEventProcessor.java:11) at com.sap.sdm.client_server.deployserver.DeployCmdProcessor.processEvent(DeployCmdProcessor.java:264) at com.sap.sdm.client_server.deployserver.DeployCmdProcessor.process(DeployCmdProcessor.java:108) at com.sap.sdm.gui.server.GuiAdminRoleCmdProcessor.processGuiAdminRoleCmdProcessor.java:72) at com.sap.sdm.is.cs.session.server.SessionCmdProcessor.process(SessionCmdProcessor.java:67) at com.sap.sdm.is.cs.cmd.server.CmdServer.execCommandCmdServer.java:76) at com.sap.sdm.client_server.launch.ServerLauncher$ConnectionHandlerImpl.handle(ServerLauncher.java:286) at com.sap.sdm.is.cs.ncserver.NetCommServer.serveNetCommServer.java:43) at com.sap.sdm.is.cs.ncwrapper.impl.ServiceWrapper.serveServiceWrapper.java:39) at com.sap.bc.cts.tp.net.Worker.run(Worker.java:50) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:816)"
The same problem occurs if I try to deploy this package or any other package using SDM in standalone or integrated mode.
configtool -> Secure Store -> admin/host/<SID> is the virtual hostname of the JC instance.
I've tried the following to no avail:
- Changed configtool -> Secure Store -> admin/host/<SID> to be the physical hostname of the box.
- Changed configtool -> Server -> Dispatcher -> Service -> P4 -> bindhost (from 0.0.0.0 to JC virt IP).
- Changed the <Host> entry in sdmrepository.sdc from <phys hostname> to <jc virt hostname>.
The SAPLOCALHOST, SAPGLOBALHOST all seem to be set correctly in the SAP profiles.
Has anyone had this issue? If so, what do I need to check/change? Any ideas?
Notice the message does not reference the <SID> in "admin/host", could this be related to the issue? If so, what can cause this?
TIA
Anthony

Hi All,
Just an update, I was able to get around my problems by patching the 2004s media from sp6 to sp8, uninstalling my scs, and database and re-installing from the patched media.

How to change Port Information shown in sicf in fully qualified host name?

Hi guys,
I want to use the CS Documentation Tool for SAP BW.
In DEV everything is OK, but in PROD I can´t execute.
I know what´s wrong, but I don´t know where to correct the error.
When I use transaction sicf -> execute -> GoTo -> Port Information I can only see the server name instead of the fully qualified host name.
Can anybody tell me, where to change the name?
Thanks a lot,
Barbara

Those ports are defined in the instance profile of the system and can be defined/changed from RZ10. The parameter is icm/server_port_xx. If the parameter is not defined then it uses the default values.
The profile values looks something like this:
icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP,PORT=80$$,TIMEOUT=90,PROCTIMEOUT=3600
icm/server_port_1 PROT=SMTP,PORT=25$$,TIMEOUT=90,PROCTIMEOUT=3600
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Naveed

How to change the fully qualified host name

Hi,
how can I change the fully qualiied host name?

Hi Michal,
I'm doing the FlightSeatAvailabilityCheck-Scenarion of the demo example and get an error. To get more details about the error I had a look in the XI Runtime Workbench. There I can see, that the wrong url is called (without the hostname) and that the access is forbidden (403). Therefore I want to change the fully qualified host name. I knew that I have to change icm/host_name_full but I don't know where I can do it (which transaction)?
Regards
Marc

Tiger: servermgr complains of host name; Dunno where it's getting it
