[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3042) IPv6: Invalid redirect to Admin console (wrong IP address)

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3042?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12682912#comment-12682912 ] 

Jan Martiska commented on AS7-3042:
-----------------------------------

Is it really that difficult to find the actual address of the Admin Console? I mean, for example in the server's console output after start, this log appears:

{noformat}
09:06:52,341 INFO  [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015951: Admin console listening on http://[fe80:0:0:0:f2de:f1ff:fe41:23a4%2]:9990
{noformat}

This string beginning with http is actually (most likely always) the correct URL that will work if you put it in the browser (if you remove the %2 in the end of the address - Firefox will accept this anyway, but for example Chrome seems it will not). If EAP actually KNOWS the URL for the admin console, I think it should not be a serious problem to provide a valid redirect link. What do you think?

> This issue is some derivation from AS7-3040. Lets imagine starting server like this:
> {code}./standalone.sh -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=false -Djboss.bind.address=::1{code}
> So by default the admin/management is bound to _::ffff:127.0.0.1:9990_ and _::ffff:127.0.0.1:9999_, but it isn't accessible from Web WelcomePage at _::1:8080_ because the URL is specified as: {code}<a href="/console">{code} and so the next request is http://[::1]:8080/console which redirect requester to http://[::1]:9990, but there isn't any console because it is here - http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]:9990.
> This is not good as it could lead to integration issues between components (X trying to connect to Y on ::1; Y listening on ::ffff:127.0.0.1).
