Andy Kurth resolved VCL-390.
----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Prevent auto-generated or invalid public IP address from being
displayed to user
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: VCL-390
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-390
Project: VCL
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: vcld (backend)
Reporter: Andy Kurth
Assignee: Andy Kurth
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.3
Windows images may fail to obtain a public IP address from DHCP
when they load. When this occurs, an auto-generated 169.254.x.x
address is usually assigned. It's not possible to connect to such
an address. When the computer is reserved, this address is
retrieved and presented on the connection info page. The user
tries to connect but can't.
2 improvements:
-Detect invalid public addresses and try to obtain a valid address
by running ipconfig /renew
-If a valid address can't be obtained, fail the reservation rather
than presenting the invalid address to the user
