Summary
Access the shared folder (ofcscan) of Security Server (SS) using IPv6 address.
Details
In Microsoft Windows operating systems, IPv4 addresses are valid location identifiers in Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) path names. However, the colon (;) is an illegal character in a UNC path name. Thus, the use of IPv6 addresses is also illegal in UNC names. For this reason, Microsoft implemented a transcription algorithm to represent an IPv6 address in the form of a domain name that can be used in UNC paths. For this purpose, Microsoft registered and reserved the second-level domain ipv6-literal.net on the Internet. IPv6 addresses are transcribed as a hostname or subdomain name within this name space, in the following fashion:
2001:db8:85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7348
is written as
2001-db8-85a3-8d3-1319-8a2e-370-7348.ipv6-literal.net
This notation is automatically resolved by Microsoft software without any queries to DNS name servers. If the IPv6 address contains a zone index, it is appended to the address portion after an "s" character:
Example:
fe80--1s4.ipv6-literal.net
The correct UNC path for
\\fe80::bce9:e471:aa9d:6d00%15\ofcscan
is written as
\\fe80--bce9-e471-aa9d-6d00%15.ipv6-literal.net\ofcscan
