As it turns out I found the answer to this. The client connects directly to both the mid-tier server and the report BOXI server. William Rentfrow Principal Consultant, StrataCom [EMAIL PROTECTED] O 952-432-0227 C 701-306-6157

I found it difficult enough to do (and it opens up some security settings on both servers) that it was easier to put a mid-tier on the BOXI server for the sole purpose of presenting the reports.

I need to verify how connectivity works on the web. As far as I can tell the documentation does not cover this. We are using Mid-tier 7.1 patch 001 on it's own Solaris server. We are using AR Server 7.1 patch 001 on it's own server. We are using IM 7.03, SLM 7.1, and CMDB 2.1. We have a separate remote BO XI server with the AR Web Report Viewer (7.1 patch 001 windows) installed (but no mid-tier). Assume the following: Client Browser is "A". Mid-tier is "B" BOXI Server is "C" AR Server is "D". Does "A" ever directly connect to "C"? Or does it go indirectly to "A > B > C > B > A"?
