[Hardhats-members] CPRS access from outside network
After configuration with GTM on my internal network I was able to connect with CPRS to the server and login without a problem. At my work location after I set the server location and try to fire up CPRS it hangs without a login prompt. I have a hole punched in my firewall to allow access from my work location on the outside interface on my server. I was wondering, when I startup a TCP listener in gtm, does it listen on all interfaces or just internal/private? --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Re: [Hardhats-members] CPRS access from outside network
The connection between CPRS and the server is not secure unless you have done something to secure it. Also, the server is set to a port, say 9200 and the client will seek the server on that port but the reply will be on a random port specified by the client, which is problematic unless they are on the same network likely inside the firewall with both client and server having a "trusted relationship." Kevin tried to change the code to fix it to not reply on a random port. I used his changes on my system and it has not worked. The latest release of VistA from February includes CPRSChart and server with patches that allow for the use of a single port but it is not secure. At least you should be able to connect through a firewall, but you may not want to do it until the connection is secured by port forwarding or some form of VPN. Meanwhile, I am hoping to get some help finding out where we I have gone wrong in trying to effect a solution with older versions of CPRS. I would like to be able to do it with the CPRS used with the VA Demo.

Re: [Hardhats-members] CPRS access from outside network
I believe GT.M listens on the "first" interface, whichever that happens to be. Something like netstat should tell you once you open a listener. -- Bhaskar On Mon, 2005-03-07 at 08:45 -0800, Mark Street wrote: > After configuration with GTM on my internal network I was able to connect > with CPRS to the server and login without a problem. > > At my work location after I set the server location and try to fire up > CPRS it hangs without a login prompt.

Re: [Hardhats-members] CPRS access from outside network
netstat revealed that GT.M is listening on all interfaces. *.9200 I have made note a some type of log file found in vista's home dir that seem related to tcp connections. The files have the name - XWBTCPC.mjo, XWBTCPC.mje and XWBTCPL.mjo The latter seems like it keeps a running log, the former .mjo file seems to log per attempt. The contents of the file is; HOME DEVICE DOES NOT EXIST IN THE DEVICE FILE PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM MANAGER! Now, I know I have some issues with keys and locked menu items that I have to clear up still. I am sure I have some work to do with DUZ levels to get this cleared up. Thanks for the input!

Re: [Hardhats-members] CPRS access from outside network
Thanks for the reply Nancy. At this point this is a testing environment for me. I just want to get it to work. I promise I will button it up tight, in the meantime this is the only way I can test and configure from a remote location.

Re: [Hardhats-members] CPRS access from outside network
I checked with the developers. GT.M uses INADDR_ANY so it is supposed to listen at the specified port on all network addresses, as you found out with netstat. It's always good to know that the software is doing what the developers intended it to do. 8-] -- Bhaskar On Mon, 2005-03-07 at 09:33 -0800, Mark Street wrote: > netstat revealed that GT.M is listening on all interfaces. *.9200 > > I have made note a some type of log file found in vista's home dir that > seem related to tcp connections. > > The files have the name - XWBTCPC.mjo, XWBTCPC.mje and XWBTCPL.mjo > > The latter seems like it keeps a running log, the former .mjo file seems > to log per attempt. > > The contents of the file is; > > HOME DEVICE DOES NOT EXIST IN THE DEVICE FILE > PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM MANAGER! > > Now, I know I have some issues with keys and locked menu items that I have > to clear up still.
