Description Scott Poore 2015-10-15 19:14:07 UTC
Description of problem:

This is an enhancement request to add the ability to use some characters other than just letters and numbers for SP names.  The purpose here is to allow the same character set allowed for hostnames.

This is an example of not being able to use a hostname:

ipsilon-client-install --saml-auth /secure \
> --saml-sp-name $(hostname -s) \
> --saml-idp-url https://rhel7-2.example.com/idp
...
Failed to register SP with IDP!
Error: ['Invalid Provider ID: Name must contain only numbers and letters']
'Invalid Provider ID: Name must contain only numbers and letters'
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  ipsilon-client-install --saml-sp-name $(hostname)

Actual results:
fails

Expected results:
if enhanced to support more characters, I would like to see this work.

Comment 4 Martin Kosek 2016-11-23 11:17:50 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 introduced the Ipsilon identity provider service for federated single sign-on (SSO). Subsequently, Red Hat has released Red Hat Single Sign-On as a web SSO solution based on the Keycloak community project. Red Hat Single Sign-On provides greater capabilities than Ipsilon and is designated as the standard web SSO solution across the Red Hat product portfolio.

Therefore, as mentioned in the RHEL-7.3 Release Notes:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/7.3_Release_Notes/chap-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-7.3_Release_Notes-Deprecated_Functionality.html
Ipsilon is now obsolete in RHEL and all existing Ipsilon users are recommended to migrate to Red Hat SSO product:
https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-single-sign-on
Please approach the Customer Service for advice.

Given above, this Bugzilla is now closed as WONTFIX.
