TeamCode and WSAD 5.0

bradp

We are using IBM's WSAD 5.0, and trying to get TeamCode to work. It works fine for connecting to our dev. TeamSite server, which is inside our trusted network. However, our
production TeamSite server is at an outside hosting company that we connect to over a VPN, with firewalls at both ends. I hade port 1099 opened in both firewalls as per the documentation. When I tried to connect, it wouldn't work. A trace by one of our firewall guys revealed that port 13024 was trying to be accessed. We had this opened up, and it got a little further, but was still blocked. Another trace revealed that port 63765 was being requested, but blocked by the firewall.

Has anyone ever been in this scenario, and knows all of the
ports that are required by TeamCode ?

RMI usually uses anonymous (random) ports for RMI objects. Since OpenAPI uses RMI, for every OpenAPI object that is created, there is an open port. Instead of random ports, we can tell RMI to use a specific set of ports. In TS5.5.2SP1, a fix was made to enable 10 ports for OpenAPI objects. This was later proved to be wrong, and a further final fix was made in TS5.5.2SP2, that requires a port range of 100 to be allowed over the firewall.

Unless you can tunnel RMI through HTTP, you're going to need to use TS 5.5.2 SP2 server to communicate with the plugin across your firewall.
