Auto config checked still application complains about hostname not filled

[jmartens]

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 10 Professional 1909

Client: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Barrier Version

Server: 2.3.2-snapshot-210cb270
Client: 2.3.2-Release-00000000 (from ubuntu apt)

Steps to reproduce bug

1. Start Barrier on server and configure client host name as usual
2. Start Barrier on client
3. Do not modify config, make sure Auto config is checked and no hostname entered
4. Click Start
5. Observe error message with title: Hostname is empty and text: Pleas filll in a hostname for the barrier client to connect to.

Other info

Immediately after install, no manual config on client, workaround is off-course to enter the server IP hostname and not use Auto config, but that defeats the purpose of Auto config IMHO

Just tried the other way around with same versions and behavior is the same, so also present in latest Windows release as can be seen in below screenshot (ciphers and other privacy info removed):

When a hostname is entered and Auto config is checked it does work, however when auto config is checked the Server IP field is disabled/grayed out and a hostname cannot be entered.

Two possible options:

1. (preffered, as most intuitive IMHO) Do not require a Server IP when Auto config is enabled, ignore the Server IP field (and it's perhaps configured value) and don't complain about it and try to discover the server and connect when found
2. Do not disable Server IP field when checking auto config and prompt user for missing Server IP, of required for Auto config additional features (if any)
