Description of problem: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt requires that URIs containing a literal IPv6 address must have the address wrapped in brackets in order to differentiate the end of the address from the optionally-specified port. Right now, it is possible to specify: ldap://fc00::126:25 in authconfig without error or warning. This URI will be unusable for either nss_ldap or SSSD (as it will fail to parse). Authconfig should validate that a URI is valid under RFC 2732. Probably the best way to accomplish this would be to pass the provider LDAP URIs into the python urlparse library for validation. It should not be permissible to save a configuration for which urlparse returns an error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): authconfig-6.1.12-5.el6
