Title: How can i use special (danish) caracters in virtuel domainna
Post by: Birger Koopmann on January 15, 2004, 09:35:25 PM

Is there a way to make ServerManager accept input of special danish caracters in virtuel domains? I tried to use % in front of the hexcode but ServerManager did not accept it.

I have tried to convert my dansh domain and I get the same name as
I did with gratisdns.dk

SME 6 final don´t accept domain name with xn--ga........dk

I get this error when I try to make a virtual domain

 "The hostname must contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens, and must start with a letter or number."

and this error when I try to make a ibay
"The i-bay name "xn--ga.....dk" is too long. The maximum is 12 characters."

any ideas

Best Regard

You could try editing the script run by the Server-Manager. WARNING! I have not tried this myself. /etc/e-smith/web/functions/virtualdomains line 466 (e-smith 5.6U6)looks like a promising candidate for changing. Try to add the characters you need to the test string.

I succeded in makeing a virtuel domain with the name: "xn--kohullet-44a.dk" wich is the IDN-form af "økohullet.dk" translated with the form at: http://api.webnic.cc/idnconversion.html.

If your problem is the length of the name you can change it with this info:

In order to provide compatibility with Windows9x machines we have deliberately set these limits to twelve. You can change the maximum length of these by setting maxIbayNameLength, maxAcctNameLength and maxGroupNameLength. When unset the default is 12. To allow names as long as 15 characters for an ibay for example, execute the following commands:

  /sbin/e-smith/db configuration set maxAcctNameLength 15
  /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

Ater installing the plugin for InternetExplorer from Verisign: http://idn.verisign-grs.com/index.jsp

Now i can accesses the virtuel dommain: "xn--kohullet-44a.dk" by writing "økohullet.dk" in the browsers adressbar.
