Creating Firewall Exceptions

In order to use Studio, you may need to create exceptions in the firewall. There are three types of exceptions that must be made for Studio to be fully operational:

Application Exceptions. When you add an application to the server, you have the option of specifying the port or port range that application will use. Set the port number and then create an exception in the firewall for that port.

If you use Find Available when selecting a port for the application, the port number may change each time you run the application.

AutoDiscovery Exception. To make sure that the firewall allows AutoDiscovery to function properly, you must make an exception in the firewall for UDP port 905. For the Windows Client, you must make an exception for UDP port 903.

Remote Administration Exception. If you will be administering Studio remotely, you may also need to create an exception in the firewall for the Java RMI. This is done by creating an exception for the server.

If you are using an SSH server with Studio, ensure that traffic can pass between the Studio Client and the SSH server, and between the SSH server and the Studio server.

To create an exception in the Windows firewall for the Studio Server:

1  From the Windows Control Panel, double-click on Windows Firewall.

2  Select the Exceptions tab.

3  Click on the Add Program button.

4  Select Studio Server from the Programs list and click OK.

The server will now be allowed to connect to other sites.

5  Make sure that Studio Server is included in the Programs and Services list.

A remote Administrator can now manage applications at the site.
