GOAL:
How to configure a Firewall when using the Progress/400 DataServer ?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress/400 DataServer
FIX:
The same considerations that are taken for a client server configuration and the Firewall must be applied to the Progress/400 DataServer. There is a broker and one or many servers inside the AS/400. Both the broker port and the server port range must be opened for bilateral communication.
Example:
Once you add the Progress library in the AS/400 using
ADDLIBLE PROGRESS *LAST
It's possible to define the broker parameters using:
STRPRONET
Then you will see the following screen:
Start Progress Network (STRPRONET)
Type choices, press Enter.
Protocol . . . . . . . . . . . . > *TCP *TCP
Broker/Manager Job Queue . . . . > QINTER Name
Library . . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB
TCP Information:
Service Name . . . . . . . . . >
--> or Port Number . . . . . . . . > 2500 1025-65534, *NONE
Server Job Queue . . . . . . . > QINTER Name
Library . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB
Server Timeout . . . . . . . . 60 30-180 Seconds
Start Server w/Message Logging *NO *YES, *NO
--> First Server Port to Assign . 1025 Number
--> Last Server Port to Assign . . 2000 Number
In this example it will be needed to open the Firewall ports 2500 and the port range from 1025 to 2000.
