[Pki-users] pkicreate and IPv6

Hello again,

I just used pkicreate to create another CA instance and still don't see how to configure the new CA to use an IPv6 address. Is there a way to configure the new CA to use the IPv6 address?

  # service pki-ca2 status
  pki-ca2 (pid 7867) is running ...

    Unsecure Port     = http://fed10.tpn-af.mil:9280/ca/ee/ca
    Secure Agent Port = https://fed10.tpn-af.mil:9544/ca/agent/ca
    Secure EE Port    = https://fed10.tpn-af.mil:9543/ca/ee/ca
    Secure Admin Port = https://fed10.tpn-af.mil:9545/ca/services
    Secure Admin Port = pkiconsole https://fed10.tpn-af.mil:9545/ca
    Tomcat Port       = 9801 (for shutdown)

Only the 1) Unsecure Port entry and 2) the Tomcat Port appears to be listening on IPv6.

The file /etc/pki-ca2/CS.cfg appears to have places for localhost or machinename (hostname) but the settings are sprinkled all over the file.

Any ideas?

As an observation, I so far see IPv6 support as somewhat limited and arbitrary considering the way 9180 was selected and the weird 9801 address.
