Is it possible to change the Replication Port in the Client from 1352 to 80? Background: many of our external coworkers are not permited to use port 1352 in foreign networks, but would love to use the Client instead of iNotes.
Alternative Idea: use localhost as internet server in the Client, install Apache with mod_proxy on the client notebook with ProxyRewiteRule locahost:1352 to http:///replicate
On the publicServer http:///replicate is mapped to :1352 - will this work?
Subject: Change of Replication Port in Client possible?
I would say no, it is not possible.Definitely not with the Apache mod_proxy module, because replication doesn’t use http as protocol and mod_proxy can’t handle the notes protocol.
What could be working, if the foreign network security is a little bit “unsecure”, would be using port forwarding. On linux you could use iptables to get the packets on port 1532 and forwarding them on port 80 and vice versa. I think, there should be tools on windows too.
But this would only be working, if the firewalls between doesn’t check, what protocol is used on port 80. I think most modern firewalls would block communication on port 80, if it isn’t http.
This is only a hypothetical idea, I don’t know if this would work in reality.
