The validator checks the host part of the URL string that you enter in the browser for opening the manager.
When you open the ATD web manager in the management network interface, you must enter the URL string in your browser and satisfy one of the following conditions:
- The host part of the URL string is the IP address of the management network interface of your ATD (acceptable access in ATD 4.4.0 and later).
- The host part of the URL string is the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the ATD appliance (acceptable access in ATD 4.4.0 and later).
- The host part of the URL string is the host name of the ATD appliance (acceptable in ATD 4.4.2 and later).
NOTES:
- The ATD system treats its host name as follows:
HOSTNAME = the [System Name] field of CLI show command
- The ATD system treats its FQDN as follows:
FQDN = HOSTNAME + "." + DOMAINNAME
HOSTNAME = the [System Name] field of CLI show command
DOMAINNAME = the [DNS domain] field of CLI show command
- You can configure your local DNS server to resolve an alternate name for your ATD appliance to the IP address of the ATD management interface. If you access the ATD manager using the alternate name, the validation logic rejects access to the activation screen. This rejection occurs because the URL string has the alternate name in the host part. Also, this location differs from the location of the FQDN string on the ATD system.
Example:
The following results are displayed in the CLI
show command:
atd129> show
[Appliance Info]
System Name : atd129
..(skip)..
[Appliance Network Config]
IP Address : 192.168.175.129
..(skip)..
DNS domain : test.local
The host name is atd129.
The FQDN is atd129.test.local.
The IP address of the management network interface is 192.168.175.129.
The validator allows access if you enter the URL string in one of the following formats:
- https://192.168.175.129/ (acceptable access in ATD 4.4.0 and later)
- https://atd129.test.local/ (acceptable access in ATD 4.4.0 and later)
- https://atd129/ (acceptable access in ATD 4.4.2 and later)
