Enabling IPv6 Support for exacqVision Web Service 9.0 – 9.4

NOTE: The backend for the exacqVision Web Service was changed in version 9.6. This document does not apply to Web Service versions 9.6 and higher.

Best Practice is to use the latest version of Web Service available.


The exacqVision Web Service listens for incoming connections from web browsers and the mobile app using IPv4 by default. Beginning with version 9.0 of the web service you may configure this to listen for connections using IPv6. The following instructions detail how to configure this:

Open the following file in a text editor:

Windows: C:\ProgramData\Webservice\conf\wfe.json
Linux: /etc/webservice/wfe.json

Add the “address” line as shown below. Replace the address in the following example with the IPv6 address of your outward bound network interface.

{<br>
    "webserver": {<br>
        "listen": 80,<br>
        "address": "cd5d::f0aa:3400",<br>
        "tls": {<br>
            "listen": 443,<br>
            "cert": "",<br>
            "key": "",<br>
        }<br>
    }<br>
}<br>

If you are configuring this file for HTTPS redirection, using Article 702, you may place the “address” line under the “tls” block. 

NOTE: This will only apply to inbound connections to the exacqVision Web Service. At this time, connections to the exacqVision Server/evAPI do not support IPv6.
