Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-7107:
----------------------------------------
INADDR_ANY means the socket will be bound to all local interfaces.
See: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/ip.7.html
> NetworkServerControl fails to connect to server started on INADDR_ANY
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-7107
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7107
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Network Server
> Affects Versions: 10.14.2.0, 10.15.2.0
> Reporter: Holger Rehn
> Priority: Critical
>
> If starting a NetworkServerControl on INADDR_ANY (0.0.0.0) it also uses this
> address when connecting to the running server instance (e.g. in method
> ping(), ...).
> Strictly speaking, INADDR_ANY isn't a valid target address. However, under
> normal circumstances, this works anyway. But if you have any "security"
> software in place that blocks such connections (Firewall or VPN, e.g. Cisco
> AnyConnect), you end up with an IOException:
> {code}Could not connect to Derby Network Server on host 0.0.0.0, port 1527:
> Permission denied: connect.{code}
> One simple fix would be to explicitly check the host address 'hostAddress' in
> NetworkServerControlImpl.setUpSocket() and if this is INADDR_ANY, use
> 'localhost' instead.
