IPv6 is enabled by default in RHEL 7. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be necessary to list default settings in requirements. We are dealing with IPv6 also in BZ#1393278. In this BZ, I proposed adding a troubleshooting section with advice on what to do if installation fails on a system with IPv6 disabled. What do you think - would a troubleshooting section like this be enough, instead of adding IPv6 to the list of requirements? I can always add the requirement as you proposed - it wouldn't be a problem. I just want to make sure it really makes sense in this case. Hi Aneta, In reply to your question in #c1, I find it best to add the requirement in the System requirements. I agree that IPv6 is enabled by default on RHEL but we do support IdM with non-default configurations (otherwise the admin couldn't customize his system at all). It's always better to clearly state the expectations IMHO. Also, IPv6 is always required, not only during installation. Thank you for the additional details, Flo. I'll add this to the prerequisites section as you proposed in c#0. I added the following item to the System Prerequisites section: --------- IPv6 must be enabled on the system Installing and running an IdM server requires IPv6 to be enabled on the network. Note that IPv6 is enabled by default on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 systems. If you disabled IPv6 before, re-enable it as described in How do I disable or enable the IPv6 protocol in Red Hat Enterprise Linux? in Red Hat Knowledgebase. --------- The update is now available on the Customer Portal. |
