I'm following a guide on setting up SSO for SAP HANA. Part of the requirements are that I find the "fully qualified canonical domain name" of the HANA server I've created. I have access to the server via the command line. Is running the hostname command while logged in to the server (logged invia SSH) all I need to do to determine the FQCDN?

  • Did it not give you the FQDN?! – Michael Hampton Jan 30 '18 at 21:53
  • @MichaelHampton I want to confirm that the FQDN is what's returned by the hostname command, and also if the reference to 'canonical' makes any difference. – Adam Jan 30 '18 at 22:00
  • It is if the system was set up correctly. And 'canonical' is meaningless here. But there's no automated way to tell if the hostname is correct. You will have to inspect it. Here is a sample of the hell people have gone through trying to automate this. But you can tell at a glance that, e.g. sap.timhortons.ca is a FQDN, because you aren't a computer. – Michael Hampton Jan 30 '18 at 22:01

hostname -f (or --fqdn or --long) should return the fully qualified domain name.
