Hi,

If we didn't fill the ServerPort property on the configuration, what would be the default port of the BOS? Is it Port 80?
Another, example we have a public address of 99.99.99.99 that directs to a local ip of 192.168.0.15 and the BOS is really located at 192.168.0.15, how can we deal with that in our client or server settings?

Thanks,
Von

Hi Von,

This depends on where you're deploying your BOS. If you're deploying on your own managed IIS, and you haven't changed its default setting, then yes, the default port will be 80.

Another, example we have a public address of 99.99.99.99 that directs to a local ip of 192.168.0.15 and the BOS is really located at 192.168.0.15, how can we deal with that in our client or server settings?

You don't configure this in your client or server config. Only the router is involved in directing this. So if you have configured your router to direct any request from the public ip to the local ip, everything should work.

Hi Denis,

Actually that's what we did, we have two Web Project, one is a Administration Site and the BOS.
The client application is a Windows Form Application that access some service of the Administration Site and uses Devforce in data manipulation.
We successfully access the services in the Administration Site (native WCF service with EF4 Code First) but we we're not able to connect to the BOS.
Both sites resides on the same host. 192.168.0.15

Example:

http://99.99.99.99/AdminPortal.Web/Services/SampleService.svc can be accessed publicly and we were able to connect to the service
http://99.99.99.99/BusinessObjectServer.Web/EntityServer.svc can be accessed publicly but I don't know why we can't initialize our EntityManager using this kind of Setup

Can you shed some light one what we're doing wrong here?

Note that without this IP Forwarding mechanism, we don't experience problem in connecting to BOS.

Regard,
Von

Hi Von,

We need more information in order to debug this. Could you provide us with the following?

1. The exception and stack trace you're getting when you're trying to initialize the EM.

2. The client and server DevForce debug logs. See  http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/log - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/log  in case you need more info.

3. A Fiddler session with DevForce extension installed.  http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/fiddler - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/fiddler
