[JIRA] Resolved: (SSPCPP-326) Abbreviated IPv6 address format and CIDR support for acl

[Scott Cantor (JIRA)]

Scott Cantor resolved SSPCPP-326.
---------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

I did not base anything on the GPL-licensed code suggested above (just stating that for the record).

CIDR implementation based on bitset STL template. All address parsing delegated to OS via getaddrinfo. Includes enhancement to support IPv6 in the TCPListener.

http://svn.shibboleth.net/view/cpp-sp?rev=3531&view=rev

Likely will run into some portability issues, particularly on Solaris, but this is working for OS X and Windows for now.

> We are actively polling the status handlers of the Service Providers in our federation. Therefore, we instruct deployers to add the IP addresses of our polling host. However, if possible we would rather like to have them configure a range of IPs instead of single IP addresses. Therefore, support for the CIDR notation would be great. For the Identity Provider this already has been possible for a while.
> Also, we noted that abbreviated IPv6 addresses are not accepted. This means that
> 2001:620:0:0:0:0:0:1234 will be accepted 
> whereas 
> 2001:620::::::1234 won't.
