AW: AW: AW: Read Client Hostname

[Matthias Mandlmeier]

Nsupdate will work with my server. I can try to create a patch for this but then I need to know where the variables are set in the sources that I can trigger the hostname and send it to Bind.

Thanks.

Regards

Matthias

Would nsupdate work with your server? In that case there can be an update coming from ocserv based on the bind library:
https://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/cur/9.10/doc/arm/Bv9ARM.ch12.html#id261375
0

In that case only a patch to ocserv would be needed an a testsuite.
Would you be interested to provide that patch?

I find that appealing to call a 3rd script in the login process.

However, your request made me realise that openconnect client's hostname variable is quite arbitrarily set and is of no much use to the server. That would need some cleanup too.
