Doc Text:	Tomcat now works with IPv6 by default The IPv4-specific `127.0.0.1` loopback address was previously used in the default server configuration file as the default AJP host name. This caused connections to fail on servers which run in IPv6-only environments. With this update, the default value is changed to `localhost`, which works with both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. Additionally, an upgrade script is available to automatically change the AJP host name on existing server instances.

Description Endi Sukma Dewata 2017-01-13 12:35:10 EST

This bug is cloned from https://fedorahosted.org/pki/ticket/2570.

Currently the IPv4-specific "127.0.0.1" loopback address is used as the default AJP hostname in the default deployment configuration file which may cause problems in IPv6 environment. See the following issues:

* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081561
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398600 

The default AJP hostname should be changed to use a generic "localhost" address which should work in both IPv4 and IPv6 environments. The man page should be updated as well.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install basic CA. Do not install IPA to validate this bug since it overrides the default AJP hostname.
2. Check the following entry in server.xml:

 <Connector port="8009"
     protocol="AJP/1.3"
     redirectPort="8443"
     address="..." />

Actual result: The address attribute contains "127.0.0.1" which may not work in IPv6 environment.

Expected result: The address attribute should contain "localhost" which will work in both IPv4 and IPv6 environments.

The workaround is to override the default AJP hostname in the deployment configuration as follows:

[Tomcat]
pki_ajp_host=localhost

Added upgrade script:
* cb839206d6c1d562e2e4385f6822c7934e9455c6

Backported to 10.3 branch:
* 3a49b9b3738befc03914b0a96aad61f9650fb935
* 6b8c54d29cfc4f448566f50cb27a40eda07052ca

Comment 4 Endi Sukma Dewata 2017-01-20 09:17:45 EST

The fix should be backported to RHEL 7.3 to address IPA bug #1398600.

Please note that when backporting to RHEL the upgrade script needs to be moved to the upgrade folder matching the RHEL version number (i.e. 10.3.3) and the sequence number in the script file name needs to be updated as well.
