Hi Firebird users and experts...
Which ports need to be open for the Firebird Services API and which
settings in firebird.conf control them?
In general, I can connect to the database just fine. I wanted to follow
up on the recent article (
http://ib-aid.com/en/articles/firebird-performance-degradation-tests-myths-and-truth/
) so that is why I'm testing the IBAnalyst utility. I have port 3050
open and IBAnalyst gives an error "connection rejected by remote
interface" when I click the [Run] button. I'm guessing the services API
uses the randomly assigned RemoteAuxPort. I would like confirmation on
that before changing the firewall configuration. I tried writing to
support at ibanalyst.com but have not heard back after 2 days.
I am thinking that RemoteServicePort defaults to 3050 and that I should
configure RemoteAuxPort to the port of my choice, say 3051, and then let
that through the firewall for LAN requests. Is that correct? I have
*not* yet set RemoteServicePort nor RemoteAuxPort in Firebird.conf, so
they are going by the defaults.
Server -- running Firebird 2.5.2 on CentOS Linux.
Client -- running IBAnalyst on Windows 7.
Thank you in advance.
