TM1 from outside network

Post by Sighurd »

Hi all,

I need advice about configuring TM1 to be accessible from outside world. Here is what I tried:
Image
External IP and dedicated port take me to login screen. Ok so far.

NAT settings to get this result:

Code: Select all

Port Forwarding and Source NAT (PAT)
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 43423 packets, 3272K bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
   28  1232 DNAT       tcp  --  ETH01  *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:13392 to:10.1.5.102:8080 
    0     0 DNAT       udp  --  ETH01  *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           udp dpt:13392 to:10.1.5.102:8080 
I login successfully and see my models:

I can chose a model and see it's structure in Contributor:

But as soon as I click any structure element, I get an error:

What should I reconfigure to make my models accessible from outside network?

Interesting and a curly one,

What is the value <client id="thinClient"> in
in pmpsvc_config.xml in the folder Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\pmpsvc\WEB-INF\configuration ?

Hi Sighurd,

I guess you'll have to either make the TM1Web computer accessible from outside (port 80) OR,
you'll have to setup some kind of forwarding policy (or proxy service) on your "outside-accessible-web-server" for it
to forward request to the TM1Web server and then to send the answer back.

These are the only 2 options I can think of right now.

Hope this helps.
Cheers!
