Fix is available. Can not be tested on the test server because there the CATS local CATS server of course has a different IP address.

Dirk reviewed the fix with the following comments:

cats.cacert.org resolves correctly to the new (changed) ip-adress 213.254.225.243 ...

the 172.16.2.27 is unknown to me, but i was able to find it in the wiki ...

maybe wytze or mendel can confirm these ip-adresses for cats.cacert.org when applying this patch ...

According to the error message the server sees the source IP 213.154.225.243, so this one should be implemented correctly.

I don't know about 172.16.2.27, according to ifconfig the CATS server uses 10.0.0.27 behind the firewall.

IIRC (yes, such things should be worth a comment, but obviously I made none) the second IP address was introduced to allow a clean transfer of the CATS server to another machine. The old second address of 193.238.157.112 seems to be from the same subnet as test1.cacert.at, which was the initial server for development...

So probably the second address is currently obsolete and might be set to the same address as the first one, but an internal address should not do much harm also.

Reviewed the changes, they are acceptable.

To clarify the confusion about internal IP 10.0.0.27 and 172.16.2.27:

There are currently actually two firewalls in front of the cats server (and all other CAcert infrastructure servers), both performing NAT
* The first (external) firewall maps between external IP 213.154.225.243 and internal IP 172.16.2.27.
* The second firewall (on infra01) maps between 172.16.2.22 and 10.0.0.27. The latter address is the one seen by the cats software itself.
