Cognos Express Firewall settings for Xcelerator Client
Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2011 9:25 pm
Guys,
I have just setup SSO for Ce using the IBM instructions http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/ ... ml?ca=drs-
But I noticed that after setting up SSO xcelerator client was only working locally on the server.
Just got to the bottom of this it was windows firewall issue on the server.
Server explorer was not showing cxmd. When on a client PC, it worked fine while I was on the server.
It turns out that xcelerator client is now using another port to connect to the server.
Previously I have created a hole in the firewall for ports 19300-19310 and it worked fine but after changing to SSO it no longer works (even in other TM1 security modes).
It is possible this never worked before but I'm pretty sure I tested it.
In order to get this to work with SSO I needed to open all TCP ports on the server.
Just thought this might save you a few hours.
But interested if anyone knows the exact ports to open up
