Connecting fail within an IPv6-only network

Post by Misut » Fri 01 Jul 2016 09:56

A device connected to an IPv4 network has no problem to connect.

Same device connected to an IPv6 network can't connect to our sql server.

MSConnection.Provider is prDirect if that helps.

Could it be that MSConnection is resolving our server's name to an IPv4 address?

Thank you very much in advance.

Currently, SDAC doesn't support IPv6 protocol in Direct Mode. We will try to add this support in the next SDAC release.

We need this feature in order to connect from iOS under an IPv6 network.

Would it be possible to get a sooner build or fix resolving this issue?

What I don't understand is why is possible that I can connect from Android within an IPv6-only network with no problem, when SDAC doesn't support IPv6 protocol in Direct Mode.

We have problems connecting only under an iOS environment connected to an IPv6 network.

This is a mandatory requirement from Apple review, so our apps are not being approved because of this reason :cry:

Support for the IPv6 protocol in Direct Mode is being implemented. As soon as we implement it, we will be able to send you a nigh build of SDAC including this functionality.

We can send you a SDAC night build with support for the IPv6 protocol in Direct Mode. Please provide your license number and IDE version to viktorv*devart*com and we will send you a night build.

This is also affecting our applications - I am hoping that I also can receive a night build that contains this support? I will send an email with a request through referencing this thread.

Our applications are being rejected from the app store so this has become a reasonably critical problem....so appreciate any assistance.

Not sure if this applies to your situation alexvm73 - but the way I have tested this is by setting up my Mac (for iOS app) in the IPv6 configuration (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios ... ition.html) .

Then in my Delphi project I extended the existing TMSConnection with the option 'IPVersion' (ie connection.Options.IPVersion) and set this to CRVio.ivIPBoth.

Then build/deploy the application to the iOS device for testing on the MAC IPv6 (NAT64) wireless network. Make sure though that the iOS device has the mobile data option (under Settings -> Mobile) turned off when testing.

This seems to have worked - will be doing some more testing but all good so far.

Thanks to the Devart team for the turnaround on this one - much appreciated.

If you need to use only IPv6, then set the TMSConnection.Options.IPVersion property to ivIPv6. If you need both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols - to ivIPBoth.

In order to use ivIPv6 and ivIPBoth constants, add the CRVio unit to the Uses section.
