Setting Up ProjectWise to Use IPv6

ProjectWise fully supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).

CAUTION: Before you begin, it is highly recommended that you contact Bentley Professional Services to assist you in setting up ProjectWise on IPv6.

To run ProjectWise on IPv6:

You must have a fully-configured IPv6 DNS server.
All ProjectWise clients and servers must be part of the IPv6 network.
All ProjectWise clients and servers must be configured to use IPv6, by enabling the IPv6 settings on the ProjectWise Network Configuration Settings dialog.
All ProjectWise servers must be configured to use IPv6, by enabling the IPv6 settings in the DMSKRNL.CFG file.

For situations in which you need to enter a datasource name using both the IP address and the datasource name (IP:datasource), when using IPv6 you need to enter the IP address inside square brackets [ ]. For example:

[2001:ffff:ffff::1]:datasource

The same is true, when using IPv6, for situations in which you need to enter a server address using the IP address followed by a port number (IP:port). For example:

[2001:ffff:ffff::1]:port

Enable ProjectWise Clients to Use IPv6

Do these steps on each of the ProjectWise Explorer and ProjectWise Administrator computers in your IPv6 network.

Open the ProjectWise Network Configuration Settings dialog.
(See Opening the ProjectWise Network Configuration Settings Dialog.)
On the General tab, turn on IPv6 Enabled and IPv6 Preferred.
Click Save.

Enable ProjectWise Servers to Use IPv6

Open the DMSKRNL.CFG file (...\ProjectWise\bin) on the server computer you are configuring.
Find ;IPV6Enabled=0. Uncomment the line and change the value to 1. For example:
```
IPV6Enabled=1
```
Find ;IPV6Preferred=0. Uncomment the line and change the value to 1. For example:
```
IPV6Preferred=1
```
