getting an error "Alternate hostname is not a valid hostname."

[lludwig]

Hi I'm getting the error "Alternate hostname is not a valid hostname." when trying to enabling the SSH admin access in the System / Advanced / Admin Access section, but don't see any place for a valid hostname. Where is this error coming from and how to fix it?

This is running on a Netgate 4100 version 23.01-RELEASE

@lludwig so you click this checkbox

And where exactly do you see this error? If you scroll up a bit you see this box

Do you have something in there? If so what?

[lludwig]

@johnpoz Yes I did, and I get it at the top of the page.

"The following input errors were detected:

Alternate hostname is not a valid hostname."

[johnpoz]

@lludwig and what do you have in the box "alternate hostnames" is it blank? Maybe there is a space in it?

[lludwig]

@lludwig I found it. For some reason, that field had 192.168.1.1 in it.

[johnpoz]

@lludwig no that wouldn't be a valid hostname ;)

Maybe a autofill from some browser addon?

[lludwig]

@johnpoz No it's not that not sure how that got there.

@johnpoz Yes, it was my case.

@RedesCSC don't post a very short an vague reply three year after the last entry.

Open a new thread about the issue you have.
