How do I run Proficy Portal through a firewall?
Top |
The following instructions explain how to configure your Proficy Portal server so that it can be accessed through a firewall. This information is intended for system administrators.
Forward ports 80, 1099, and an additional port in the IANA unassigned range (see http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers) to the Proficy Portal server. The additional port will be used as the RmiOutgoingPort.
After forwarding the ports, change the RmiOutgoingPort in the web.xml file. The file can be located in:
\Proficy Portal\webapps\infoAgentSrv\WEB-INF
In the web.xml file, change the zero (0) to the port number you forwarded. In the following example, the RmiOutgoingPort number is 33000. Actual change is shown in red text.
Change this:
<init-param>
<param-name>UseRMI</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>RmiRegistryPort</param-name>
<param-value>1099</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>RmiOutgoingPort</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</init-param>
To this:
<init-param>
<param-name>UseRMI</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>RmiRegistryPort</param-name>
<param-value>1099</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>RmiOutgoingPort</param-name>
<param-value>33000</param-value>
</init-param>
Restart the Proficy Portal server.
