Server enhancement for firewalls. -minports & -maxports
Version 8.2A will support two new parameters designed to help tighten
security with Firewalls. The parameters are -minport & -maxport.
They allow the administrator to specify what range of TCP ports that
PROGRESS will assign to it's automatically spawned servers in a shared
memory environment. So that the administrator will the able to predict
exactly what ports PROGRESS will use for it's database. Don't forget
that the port specified by the -S parameter is separate from the range
given by -minport & -maxport. For example if 10 servers is wanted, 11
TCP ports will be needed, one for the broker, and the remaining 10 to
the spawned servers.
Remember that you need to make sure that none of the ports on the
given range will be used by another TCP service, or PROGRESS will
error out while trying to alocate the conflicting TCP port.
