Originator:michael.lowry

Status:Open Resolved:
Product:Mac OS X Product Version:10.5.6
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
If IPv6 is enabled on the network interface used to contact the domain controller, any attempt to bind to the domain will fail.

Steps to Reproduce:
Make sure IPv6 is enabled. Attempt to bind to an Active Directory domain.

Expected Results:
The Mac binds successfully to the domain.

Actual Results:
An error occurs and the Mac does not bind successfully.

Regression:
Disable IPv6 and try the bind again. It will work.

Notes:
I did a packet trace during a bind attempt when IPv6 was enabled, and it seemed that there was a mix of IPv6 and IPv4 traffic related to the bind request.
