PI28275: IPV6 ADDRESS IN IBM.WORKLIGHT.ADMIN.PROXY.HOST VALUE DOES NOT WORK

IBM Worklight Interim Fix README for 6.2.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the value of the JNDI property
  ibm.worklight.admin.proxy.host contains an IPv6 address, the
  deployment of apps or adapters to the Worklight Server fails
  with an error message that says "URI does not specify a valid
  host name".
  

Local fix

• Define a name for the proxy server's machine in the Domain Name
  System (DNS) or in the application server's machine's /etc/hosts
  file, and use this symbolic name instead of the IP address as
  value of the JNDI property ibm.worklight.admin.proxy.host.
