Created attachment 489994 [details] part of the ipaserver-install.log Description of problem: Installing ipa server using zonemgr option which includes special chars fails to install the server. A preinstall check would avoid the install to begin in this scenario. Installed using - ipa-server-install --setup-dns --no-forwarders --zonemgr=Têko This failed with error - Configuring named: [1/9]: adding DNS container [2/9]: setting up our zone Unexpected error - see ipaserver-install.log for details: idnsSOArName: value #0 invalid per syntax: Invalid syntax. I was able to successfully uninstall after the above. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipa-server-2.0.0-19.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install using cmd: ipa-server-install --setup-dns --no-forwarders --zonemgr=Têko Actual results: Install started, and went through setting up DS, CS etc, and then failed with error idnsSOArName: value #0 invalid per syntax: Invalid syntax. Expected results: If i have an invalid value for zonemgr, do not start the install. Additional info:
