Liberty server not reachable over global IPv6 address

In an IPv6 environment, the AppScan Enterprise Liberty server is accessible only via the link-local IPv6 address (starting with fe80::). Consequently, the server is unreachable via the global IPv6 address or by remote scanning agents.

About this task

This happens when the Liberty server doesn't bind to all available IPv6 interfaces. To fix this, update the server configuration.

Procedure

  1. Stop the AppScan Enterprise service.
  2. Open the server.xml file in <install-dir>\AppScan Enterprise\Liberty\usr\servers\ase\.
  3. In the <httpEndpoint> element, set the host attribute to "::".
    Example:
    <httpEndpoint id="defaultHttpEndpoint" host="::" httpPort="9080" httpsPort="9443" />
  4. Save the file, and then restart the service.
