How to access the mediabin outside the Firewall

Hi,

This is wajeeth. I need to access the Mediabin server from outside the firewall. Can anyone explain me that how to configure it and where to do the changes. In mediabin guide, it is mentioned as to check with the global.asa file. My question is if i made any changes in this file, will it make any problem to access the mediabin server inside the firewall. Can any one give me the suggestion in this regards and tell me the proper way to how to handle it. It is urgent and waiting for the response. Advance thanks.

thanks and regards,

wajeeth

If you open up port 32456 in the firewall then it should work.

I'm going to make an assumption based on your question. I believe you're asking, "What ports need to be opened on my firewall to access MediaBin server from IIS hosting the MediaBin web client where IIS is sitting outside the firewall and MediaBin server is behind the firewall." That is the typical configuration. The web client, by default, uses port 32456 to communicate with MediaBin server. This port is configurable and can be changed by editing global.asa. This line in global.asa designates which port is used by the web client: Application("MB_PORT") = 32456.
If you change this port, obviously you would need to ensure MediaBin server is listening for incoming connections on the same port. You can set the port for MediaBin server by editing the Port value under the Network key in the registry. You'll find the key under:
HKEY_Local_ Machine\Software\MediaBin,Inc\MediaBin\Platform\CurrentVersion\Network\Port.
For more information, check the user guides. There is an optional port that can be opened to permit MediaBin server to use file system commands to read and write files directly to and from the web client.
