I recently installed OpenManage 8 on a CentOS 6.5 system so I can check/change settings in the DRAC setup. I am able to access the OMSA login page with https://1.2.3.4/1311 without a problem.
After entering the system hostname (my.domain.tld), username and password, then clicking Submit. OpenManage returns
Login failed.
Hostname / IP address is Blank.
Please enter a valid Hostname/IP address.
I've tried using the system's IP address, and verified that I am entering a valid username and password.
Coincidentally, I can click on the 'Manage Web Server' link below the login form, and am able to log in using the same credentials (I'm not asked to enter a hostname on that login page).
Why is OpenManage complaining about a missing hostname when I am absolutely submitting a valid hostname on the login form? I've restarted openmanage, and tried restarting the server also. Same problem happens across multiple browsers and clients (hostname blank).
I've also yum removed/installed srvadmin-all, and continue to have the same problem.

Hello
What is happening between pulling up the login page and then entering the host name? You have already supplied the hostname/IP in the first step you mentioned. The page that pops up should be asking for a user/pass not a hostname/IP. You should only be prompted to enter a hostname/IP if you are connecting to a remote system from OMSA.
If you are talking about a browser popup window that is asking for credentials then ignore that window. Just close out of that window and use the we page login form.
Thanks
