88 Configuring FSE
The following is an example excerpt from the local /etc/hosts file that matches the above
services.cfg and omniORB.cfg files:
Reconfiguring communication on external Windows FSE clients
Ordinary LAN connection
If the external Windows FSE clients and the consolidated FSE system or the FSE server will communicate
through an ordinary LAN, you have to modify the services.cfg file on each external Windows client,
as follows:
1. Ensure that the value of the server variable in services.cfg equals the fully-qualified domain
name (FQDN) that identifies the consolidated FSE system or the FSE server inside the LAN.
The following is an example of a properly configured services.cfg file in FSE implementations
using an ordinary LAN. The file can also include the hostname variable, but this variable is redundant
in such FSE implementation.
2. In the omniORB.cfg file on the consolidated FSE system or the FSE server, comment out all parameters
in the section --- Private network parameters --- and save the changes.
3. Repeat step 2 of this procedure on the external Windows client.
Private network connection
If the external Windows FSE clients and the consolidated FSE system or the FSE server will communicate
through a private network, you must modify both configuration files, services.cfg and omniORB.cfg,
on each external Windows client, as follows:
1. Modify the value of the server variable in services.cfg to contain the fully-qualified domain
name (FQDN) that identifies the consolidated FSE system or the FSE server inside the private network.
2. Add the hostname variable (if not present) to services.cfg and set its value to the FQDN that
identifies the Windows FSE client inside the private network.
The following is an example of a properly configured services.cfg file in FSE implementations
using a private network:
3. In the omniORB.cfg file, configure the parameters in the section
--- Private network parameters --- with the following information:
clientTransportRule = localhost tcp
clientTransportRule = 192.168.240.0/255.255.255.0 tcp
clientTransportRule = * none
# The order of network interfaces to use for opening new server connections:
# Only localhost and private network. Others are denied.
serverTransportRule = localhost tcp
serverTransportRule = 192.168.240.0/255.255.255.0 tcp
serverTransportRule = * none
