Bug 1566166

Description of problem:

(copied from http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/23232)


If you register a brand-new client to a new capsule on a new katello, you will get this error:

Validation failed: Name must not include periods

repro steps:

    vagrant up centos7-katello-3.6
    vagrant up centos7-foreman-proxy-3.6
    vagrant up centos7 for use as test client

on katello server:

hammer ping
hammer -u admin -p changeme activation-key create --name MYAK --organization-id 1
hammer -u admin -p changeme hostgroup create --name MYHG

on client:

yum install subscription-manager (bootstrap will need it)
curl http://centos7-foreman-proxy-3-6.dhcp129-144.example.com/pub/bootstrap.py > ./bootstrap.py
python bootstrap.py -s centos7-foreman-proxy-3-6.dhcp129-144.example.com -g MYHG -a MYAK

(this will error that the HG needs an OS and location, we'll fix that)

back on katello server:

hammer -u admin -p changeme os list
hammer -u admin -p changeme location list
hammer -u admin -p changeme hostgroup list
hammer -u admin -p changeme hostgroup update --operatingsystem-id 1 --location-ids 2 --id 1

back on client again:

python bootstrap.py -s centos7-foreman-proxy-3-6.dhcp129-144.example.com -g MYHG -a MYAK --location "Default Location" --force

error!

It looks like the domain can't be found, which causes the shortname of the host to be its fqdn. Workaround:

hammer -u admin -p changeme domain update --id 1 --location-ids 2 --organization-ids 1
