Checkmk 2.5.0p6 started to validate the names of dynamic host management
connections. That validation also ran during a site update: a connection whose
name is not a valid identifier - for example one containing a dot, such as
test-vcenter.example.com - made cmk-update-config abort, and the update
could not be completed. Such names were accepted in earlier versions, so
setups were affected without having been changed. The only remedy offered was
to rename the connection by hand.
Starting with this release, the validation is removed again. Connection names are accepted as before, both when creating a connection in Setup and when updating a site. Hosts managed by a connection whose name is not a valid identifier still cannot be edited; that problem is addressed separately.
