1775292 - For hostname of LDAP AB, cannot use IPv6 address literals, only hostnames or IPv4 address literals

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1225783 +++
Copying this over from the other bug so that we can close that.
From Bug 1225783 Comment 2.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up an dual-stack LDAP server.
2. Configure address search using this LDAP server.

Actual result:

It's not possible to configure literal IPv6 address of an LDAP server. Without any error, the config reverts to previously entered value. Enclosing IPv6 literal inside brackets results in invalid address error.

Expected result:

Allow configuring literal IPv6 address of an LDAP server.

Amazing - so after 7 years on record we're able to fix this bug within a day after it's refiled cleanly! That's great teamwork between QA and devs! We have more such bugs, should try this more often...
