Problem to fully register host in 1.6

[maxcarpone]

Hi guys!

We are trying FOG 1.6 and we are facing our first problem which is we can’t register our host. It tells us : “Unsafe Hostname entered, please try again : ZHdzCg==”

What can we do to register our host properly?

I must add we can register our host with the desired name using the web interface.

Thanks for your help.

PS : FOG Version : 1.6.0-alpha.1159

@maxcarpone My recommendation would be to not use 1.6 at the moment. I would switch back to 1.5.9 and then upgrade to the dev branch.

Then install the latest FOS Linux kernel (FOG Web ui->FOG Configuration->Kernel update) install linux kernel 5.15.x

Lastly update FOG iPXE to the latest release: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15826/updating-compiling-the-latest-version-of-ipxe

That will take your FOG install to what FOG 1.5.10 will be when its released. Its now looking like it will be fall before the developers will have time to release it.

@george1421 Ok, I was curious to see the newest version but no problem, we will switch back to dev-branch.

Thanks.

I have the same problem.
Any idea what is doing this ?
Could that check be disabled ?

I had to do quick registration and write down mac to change name and image on gui.
