Host registration Fails When Policy Server Has a Link-Scoped IPv6 Address When Configuring SOA Agent on Linux (136734)

Linux does not support connections to link-scoped IPv6 addresses without additional information: The name of the interface on which to do the networking. This means that when registering a Linux system as a trusted host during SOA Agent configuration, it fails with the following error when the IP address of the Policy Server is link-scoped:

Registration failed (bad ipAddress[:port] or unable to connect to Authentication server (-1)).

Workaround

Use global or site-scoped IPv6 addresses.
