Sub Tasks

Description
One licensee encountered a problem when they are using IPv6 and this issue could not be seen when using IPv4.
When setting a host at kdc that has an assigned IPv6.
- It worked when specifying host name(e.g. "<host name>:88")
- It failed when specifying IPv6 address(e.g. "<IPv6 address>:88")
This issue is about KDC setting in krb5.conf.

Comments
EVALUATION

As per the PDE :
The fix checks if the host starts with "[" , if so all characters till "]" is host , and the rest if available is port.
":" is searched for in the whole string, if there is none , the value is simply "host" which is either a DNS host name or an IPv4 address.
Also we check if there are multiple ":" in the whole string. Since a IPv6 address contains more than 1 ":" , if the string contains multiple ":" it is treated as an IPv6 address else if there is only 1 ":" then it is treated as "host:port" where host is a DNS host name or an IPv4 address.
