KDCNAMEINFO tool

The KDCNAMEINFO tool determines the associated computer name for an IPv4 or IPv6 address and outputs it to stdout. You specify this computer name when generating your UTM application as the value for the parameter PRONAM or N-SEL. You can thus ensure that the specified host name / processor name in the UTM generation on a Unix, Linux or Windows system matches the network configuration.

Calling KDCNAMEINFO

The tool is called as follows:

utmpath/ex/kdcnameinfo ip_address (Unix and Linux systems) or

utmpath\ex\kdcnameinfo ip_address (Windows systems)

ip_address is the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the partner system, with which the UTM application wants to communicate. The following applies:

• ip_address for IPv4 is specified using the traditional dot notation:

  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

  The individual xxx blocks are limited to three decimal places each. The content of the blocks is interpreted as a decimal number.

• ip_address for IPv6 is specified using the conventional colon notation:

  x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x

  Each x represents a hexadecimal number between 0 and FFFF. The alternative notations for IPv6 addresses are permitted (see RFC2373).

  If the IPv6 address contains an embedded IPv4 address in dot notation, the above rules apply to the blocks in the IPv4 address, i.e. the blocks in the IPv4 address are then interpreted as a decimal number.
