Hi, I have a couple of tsm clients in my DMZ. The backups through the firewall are no problem at all (port 1500).
When I want to use the http://xxx.xxx.xxx:1581, no problem to get the applet started. However, as soon as I try to start a backup or restore from the applet, I get a java error "Connection timed out". With the firewall open on all ports: no problem. I found the "webports" setting and have put that in the dsm.sys file (I am running redhat 8) on the client machine: passwordaccess generate compression yes Editor yes schedlogretention 3 D txnbytelimit 24576 httpport 1581 webports 1584 1585 I opended these ports on the firewall (from internal to dmz: open ports: 1581, 1584, 1585) and still no luck. When I shutdown and restart dsmcad and retry the connection, I can start a backup or restore version once. If I try another backup or restore, it fails with the timeout error. Looking at the firewall sniffer, it seems tsm starts with the ports set by webports, but also uses other ports (like 1841). As I understand from the doc, the webports variable should be the only thing and this behaviour seems like a bug. Does anybody know how this can be solved?
