----------------------------------------------------------------

I have re-opened to double check what is happening here.

However do please note that the redirection is intended as a convenience for a new out of the box installation, it is not intended for redirecting requests received from the public interface so in this scenario it currently sounds more likely that a displayed error is going to be the correct outcome rather than a successful redirect.

> 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).
