We need to add support for IPV6 in our access controller. We also need to add support in the ip ranges interface to support IPV6 as well. This is more than an enhancement bug, because some stuff does potentially break if IPV6 is used. I see stuff like this in my logs: btpool0-16 DEBUG ac.accreditablemanager - Network address /127.0.0.1, subnet mas k /255.255.255.0 and/or host address /2001:4930:71:0:0:0:0:65 have different siz es! (return false ...) Granted my IP is not localhost even in IPV6, it does show that support isn't there. First step would be to include instructions on how to turn off IPV6 support in Jetty and/or Tomcat. Then update the code as those with IPV6 (myself included) have time.

Rolf Kulemann suggested to replace InetAddressUtil with some external too that can do IPv6: " Developing ower own ip filter is too complex i.e. ipv6 netmasks etc.. We agreed on finding a better solution. Needs more research. "
