AD/LDAP configuration may fail for IPv6 addresses

Setting up an AD/LDAP configuration from the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management UI fails if the specified IP address of the AD/LDAP server is an IPv6 address. (4020899)

This issue occurs because the NetBackup services are not able to process the IPv6 address in the expected syntax. The colon character is not supported in domain name for role assignments from NetBackup. This causes a connection failure with the AD/LDAP server and the AD/LDAP configuration cannot be initialized.

Workaround:

Instead of an IPv6 address, specify the FQDN of the AD/LDAP server in the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management UI to successfully set up the AD/LDAP configuration.
