[ZOOKEEPER-4240] IPV6 support in ZooKeeper ACL

• Type: Bug

Description

The IPAuthenticationProvider class doesn't handle the IPV6 addresses properly. Because of this, the authorization is failing when using the ACL with the IP scheme.

private byte[] addr2Bytes(String addr) - validates only the IPV4 and not the IPV6 address. Below is the code snippet of this method.

// This is a bit weird but we need to return the address and the number of
// bytes (to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6
private byte[] addr2Bytes(String addr) {
 byte[] b = v4addr2Bytes(addr);
 // TODO Write the v6addr2Bytes
 return b;
}

 

Is there any other workaround to work with ZooKeeper ACL's IP scheme with IPV6 address?
