Assembling and Administering Your Server
The value in “Ports” specifies the valid range of ports on the server for use by
RPC. (The value “6600-6610” is simply an example.) You can specify
multiple ranges for availability by entering each range on a separate line. You
will need to restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
After you have specified which ports are available for use by RPC (port 135
and the ports you specified in the “Ports” value), you must configure your
firewall to allow the MapAgent computer to establish a connection with the
Autodesk MapGuide Server computer on these ports.
The following diagram provides a basic overview of how the MapAgent and
Autodesk MapGuide Server communicate over the firewall.
RPC communication over a firewall
For information about the configuration of your particular firewall, please
consult the firewall’s documentation or your network administrator.
Warning
This section does not address any security concerns regarding the con-
figuration of your firewall. As with all changes to your firewall’s configuration,
your network administrator should assess the risks that a change may bring.
If you set up more than one MapAgent (see “Using Multiple Servers” on
page 56), be sure to specify the correct MapAgent when you set up the map
layers. You do this on the Data Sources tab of the Map Layer Properties dialog
box in Autodesk MapGuide Author.
