Description Martin Nagy 2008-06-10 19:44:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
It should be documented somewhere that the hostname entered to the
ipa-server-install script must be the same as the one setuped on the machine,
otherwise dirsrv can't use it's own keytab, which results in commands such as
ipa-finduser to fail.

Note

The hostname that you enter into the ipa-server-install script must be the same as that returned by the hostname command, otherwise the Directory Server cannot use its own keytab. This can cause some ipa-* commands to fail.
