Redbrick 32 and 64-bit drivers certified for IPV6 Protocol

System: Nielsen NITRO

Actor: Users are migrating their VPNs from IPV4 to IPV6 due to which there is a need to certify NITRO for IPV6 protocol.

Description:
Nielsen NITRO is desktop application that has capability to connect to red brick databases via drivers using odbc connectivity. As per our testing with Direct Access VPN that supports IPV6 protocol the connectivity to redbrick databases failed while using Redbrick ODBC drivers mentioned below,
Redbrick 32-bit ODBC driver version: 5.63.00.90
Redbrick 64-bit ODBC driver version: 5.63.01.30

Up on further analysis of network traces it was understood that the problem is due to the fact that Redbrick drivers being used are not complaint with IPV6 protocol.
