GOAL:
How to restrict the range of remote client TCP ports used to connect to a server?
GOAL:
What TCP ports are used on the client side?
GOAL:
What TCP ports are used by remote clients?
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Windows
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
The client-side TCP port number is allocated automatically/dynamically by the operating system and passed to the Progress application. Depending on the operating system being used, the client-side TCP port can be any value between 1024 and 65535. This is the client endpoint for bidirectional (tcp/ip) communication.
As of this writing, there is no provision in Progress nor OpenEdge to limit the port from which a connection from a Progress application to a server originates.
