configuration setting

artor

Hi,
I have following scenario in my environment

Sending end base server with firewall and route and on the target end have firewall + receiver server
And both firewalls are in different environment. Below is my configuration

<b>sender end base server</b>
odnodes.xml file contains also the ip address of the target firewall.
odbase.xml file contains the ip address of the target firewall as allowedHost in case of reverse deployment.
<deploymentconfiguration>.xml file contains the target firewall as a localnode host.
Port 20014 opened on firewall

<b>target end receiver server</b>
odnodes.xml contains the ip address of the target firewall.
odrcvr.xml contains the ip address of the target firewall as an allowedHost.
Port 20014 opened on firewall

If I am doing wrong at any place please let me know still I have not applied this but just wanna make sure that everything is correct and I am using OD 6.0 as a Base and OD 6.0.1 as a receiver.

Regards,
A

Unless something has changed - I'm pretty sure that the Receiver does NOT use the odnodes.xml file - so you can probably ignore that.

Do the firewalls do network address translation (NAT)? If not - then you want to use the hostname / IP address of the actual sender/receiver in your configuration files.

You mention "route" - are you doing a routed deployment? Or are you talking about a point-to-point deployment BS->[FW]->[FW]->R ?

I'd suggest including allowedHost/allowedDirectory entries for both the actual server's IP address as well as the firewall address on both sides.
Unless you turn on strict checking, I believe you could set localNode to whatever you want in the deployment configuration file and use *that* string in the allowedHost section in the server configuration file (without strict checking, it does a string comparison first and only if that fails does it try to resolve the string into an IP address)
