Description Torsten Kasch 2022-07-25 14:43:01 CEST
After updating our installation from ThinLinc 4.12 to 4.14, the "System Load" page at https://master.my.domain:1010/status/load incorrectly reports an agent host as "down" when its domain name is written in CamelCase. It seems to be possible to get a session on such a host, so I am not sure if this is a reporting issue only or of the load-balancing when creating new sessions would be affected.

Nevertheless, I think host/domain names should be evaluated case-insensitive everywhere.

Thanks for the report, this is indeed a bug.

It seems case-insensitive host names weren't considered in the code here. We're doing exact string matches with the list of agents for the subcluster.

To clarify, session creation and load balancing isn't affected. This is only a reporting issue.

The workaround for now is to set lower case host names in the vsmserver configuration.
