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

[Darran Lofthouse (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3042?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12682956#comment-12682956 ] 

Darran Lofthouse commented on AS7-3042:
---------------------------------------

Yes that would be a more worthwhile change - at the moment that page is a static page and we only see if the redirect can happen AFTER they click the link.  

It would be better if the URL for the console was calculated as that page was displayed and the link removed, the redundant intermediate step to actually generate a redirect could also be removed.

> 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).
