I’ve installed designer and other client tools on a machine outside firewall. Does anybody know what needs to be done to allow for successful logon…ports, etc.
I’m able to remote desktop to the BO Server by using the external IP address.
From inside the firewall I cannot logon while using the external IP as the System name, but it works using the interal IP address.
Thanks in advance!

There’s a chapter in obe of the manuals specific to enabling your system behind firewalls.
i.e you have to open some of the ports below:
8443 TCP Tomcat Redirect
8080 TCP Tomcat Connection / ASADMINPort
8005 TCP Tomcat Shut Down
6420 TCP Client Auditing
6410 TCP - Server Intelligent Agent (SIA) / CADPort
6400 TCP - CMS Incoming / NS Port
1566 TCP - Infoview Incoming

For designer
I think it is just the CMS and the IFRS and OFRS.(for importing and exporting to the repository and logging on.(u know to use -port and -requestport to lock down the ports these run on, otherwise they just choose random ports on start up, see manual as advised above)
If using designer, the user will also need a connection to the database the universe is built on, so remember those ports.
The user could also use designer in standalone mode(still DB connection will be required though).
