Using IPv6 in ABRA Flexi

Using IPv6 Protocol to Connect to a Server

Written by Petr Pech

Currently, IPv6 is not supported in ABRA Flexi.

How the issue manifests

  • when an IPv6 address is entered, the address is truncated at the first colon

  • the application is then unable to connect to the server

Recommended solution

  • use an IPv4 address, or

  • connect via the server's DNS name (e.g. firma.flexibee.eu)

A DNS name may have an IPv6 address (AAAA record) behind it, but the Flexi client handles it correctly only when a direct IPv6 address is not used.

What will not help

  • changes to Java parameters (e.g. java.net.preferIPv6Addresses)

  • entering an IPv6 address directly into the application
