The installation (ndlaunch) agent may crash when attempting to download files related to the agent's policy or client settings when configured to connect to a beacon using an IPv6 address.
When the issue occurs, the last line of logging that appears in the agent's installation.log file will look similar to the following (the specific URL of the file being downloaded may vary):
[Thu 30 Sep 2021 12:42:01 AM CEST (N, 0)] {12843} Downloading “https://[2a00:23e:ab0b:da9:de:0:2d70:2797]/ManageSoftDL/Packages/Flexera/Upgrade/17.0.1/Rev1.0/Upgrade for ManageSoft for Solaris (sparc) Managed Devices/Upgrade for ManageSoft for Solaris (sparc) Managed Devices.osd” to “/var/opt/managesoft/policies/packages/7cab4c68c2de7304f8617e95d8606e03.osd”
This issue has been fixed by modifying the agent to be able to handle IPv6 addresses appearing in beacon URLs.
