> Windows Firewall security issue when configuring socket
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRMINA-628
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-628
> Project: MINA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.1.7
> Environment: Windows Vista 32 and 64-bit
> Reporter: Mauritz Lovgren
> Assignee: Emmanuel Lecharny
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.1.8
>
>
> When upgrading to MINA 1.1.7, we suddenly get Windows Firewall dialog
> complaining about our software trying to perform an operation that needs to
> be blocked / unblocked before continuing.
> This does NOT happen with MINA 1.1.5.
> Tried to identify where in MINA this happens, but no exceptions are thrown by
> the Java code and the application continues without errors after Windows
> Firewall dialog has been closed, either by allowing the application to
> continue by unblocking it, or by blocking the offending operation.
> This might not seem to be a big problem, since after unblocking the
> application once the firewall security dialog is avoided in subsequent
> application startups, but for a restricted Vista user (as most of our
> customer clients are), the dialog will appear at every application startup
> since a restricted user does not have the permission to unblock the
> application.
> Our client application only starts one outbound (client) connection towards
> our server application and should not at any sircumstance start a listening
> socket on the client machine.
> The problem can be verified by removing any existing Vista firewall rules for
> all Java processes and start a MINA client that creates one outbound client
> socket towards another machine. A windows firewall security dialog should
> appear on the client machine. Try the same thing with MINA 1.1.5 and no
> security dialog appears.
