When running a Web Agent, when the browser machine uses IPv6 IP, then the
Web Agent reports error :

    [Failed To Resolve ClientIP from CustomHeader.]

ACO is configured that way:

  CustomIpHeader=True-Client-IP

This works fine when IP are IPv4. The issue is with IPv6 addresses.

Resolution

 

Upgrade the Web Agent to 12.52SP1CR11 to solve this error (1). CR11
benefits from a fix given in CR07 which where the code wasn't handling
the IPv6 IPs properly.
