FMA Server and Firewall

I am trying to access our wsmp server/cluster using WOM through a very secure firewall. I've opened the firewall to permit access to ports 8080, 1057, 137, 2289, and 2637 but it still is giving me an error as shown here (I've left out the ip address and put in ****.****.****.**** instead.

com.imanage.cms.exceptions.fma.FmaServiceNotFoundException: FmaClient.findServer
sWithService(): Cannot locate FMA server(s): "****.****.****.****" ; possibly invalid
name(s) or address(es)

Does anyone have any ideas on how fma works and what kind of firewall rules need to be put in place for WOM?

Thanks in advance!

I can't answer your particular question with the info given, but to access our MP through our firewall all I did was open port 80 to the webapp server.

That said if you are using Office Integration additional ports are required and I'm not sure exactly what you mean by using the WOM to connect. Could you give us a few more details as to exactly what you are trying to do?

I have developed a desktop widget using Konfabulator (mostly curl and js) that allows a user outside our firewall to drag and drop files onto the widget which then pushes those files into a predetermined document folder in a predetermined workspace after prompting for that users credentials. This also works through my firewall. So I expect we can help you with some more info.

You have to poke three holes:

UDP port 2637
TCP for CMS
TCP for file transfers

The last two are dynamic by default, but you can specify fixed ports in Configuration Manager. Right click on your cluster entry, select properties, go to the CMS Settings tab in the "Edit Cluster" popup. On the right side of the pane, you'll see a grouping labeled "TCP/IP Port Assignments". Click on "Set..." and configure your ports.

There is now a tech artcile by Imam graphing a common layout or two and listing the ports. You can search for it under tech articles "MP firewall".

If you did not get the problem resolved yet, please try with the cluster name (the hostname used in Config Mgr) instead of the IP address (you might have to adjust the dns or the local hosts file to get this working). I do not think that MP clients can connect to the cluster using a different name than the clustername.
