Failed to add host with bmc ssh

Support
1

I installed foreman 1.22 on debian stretch. I can add bmc ipmi host, but when I add a bmc ssh host it says “hostname can contain only lowercase letters, numbers, dashes and dots according to RFC921, RFC952 and RFC1123”

here is the log from /var/log/foreman/production.log:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Q8v4htfzHg/

the bmc config file is:
:enabled: https
:bmc_default_provider: ipmitool
:bmc_ssh_user: root
:bmc_ssh_key: /usr/share/foreman/.ssh/id_rsa
:bmc_ssh_powerstatus: “true”
:bmc_ssh_powercycle: “shutdown -r +1”
:bmc_ssh_poweroff: “shutdown +1”
:bmc_ssh_poweron: “false”

Hey, this error has nothing to do with BMC or SSH-BMC provider. Hostname have strict rules in Foreman due to fact that Foreman can integrate with many other systems which have various limits. Do not use special characters - I see that your hostname part is correct, however domain name might not be correct perhaps?

I used some other names such as all-letter or all-number,same error as the log I posted above.

This applies both to host name and interface DNS name. Check that, I suspect that you have some invalid character in your domain name.

I see, my domain name is “terminal_zone”. I change it to “terminal” and everything goes right.
