Deployment through Firewall

If deploying through a firewall, what should 'nodeRef useNode' value?

<replicationFarmSet>
<replicationFarm name="ABCD1234" >
<nodeRef useNode="WHAT???" >
</nodeRef>
</replicationFarm>
</replicationFarmSet>

In the deployment config on the sending system you would specify the target host (not the firewall) as the "useNode" value and the firewall as the "localNode". On the target system, you would specify the firewall as an allowed host.

Example:
Sender - 10.20.30.40
Receiver - 10.100.200.201
Firewall - 200.109.201.101

Sender's odnodes.xml file contains...
<nodeSet>
<node host="10.100.200.201" />
</nodeSet>

Sender's deployment configuration file contains...
<localNode host="200.109.201.101" />
<replicationFarmSet>
<replicationFarm name="SomeFarm" >
<nodeRef useNode="10.100.200.201" />
</replicationFarm>
</replicationFarmSet>

Receiver's odbase.xml file (or odrcvr.xml if a receiver only) contains...
<localNode host="10.100.200.201" />
<allowedHosts>
<node host="200.109.201.101">
<allowedDirectories>
<path name="..."/>
...
</allowedDirectories>
</node>
</allowedHosts>

Is there a way to know/limit which ports need to be opened on the firewall? It appears that RMI is managing this automatically but we want to have a specific set of ports defined for OD to choose from.

The ports for the deployment itself are controlled via the server configuration file and the odnodes.xml file (RMI not being involved).

The latest version of OpenDeploy 5.5.1 - SP2 includes options for specifying the seven ports that will be used for the Java RMI communications for the OpenDeploy AdminServer. (check out the release notes for more information).
