Re: Iona61 Dynamic ports, how to fixate

Have you looked into the port range feature available in Iona 6.x? It
will
not fully solve your problem. But you may want to look into it.

If you use scripts to start up your ORB process
You've got a couple options here. You can create a configuration scope

that corresponds with the ORBname that your ORB process uses.
For example, if your ORB process uses an ORBname of foo.bar, then you'd
do:

itadmin scope create foo
itadmin scope create foo.bar

itadmin variable create -scope foo.bar -type string -value <low>:<high>

\ policies:iiop:server_address_mode_policy:port_range

for example, if you want to limit the listen ports to be between
18000::18053

itadmin variable create -scope foo.bar -type string -value 18000::18053

\ policies:iiop:server_address_mode_policy:port_range

to see what port range is being used

itadmin scope show foo.bar



Another option is to pass the variable on the command line when you
start
your ORB process. All ORB configuration can be over-ridden on the
command
line, provided the code passes the argc/argv arguments to main() to the

ORB_init() call. In which case the format would be like:

server_b_exe -ORBpolicies:iiop:server_address_mode_policy:port_range
<low>:<high>

Is there a way to limit the ports that the CORBA is using? We are behind
firewalls using Tomcat 4.1.31

The ports are limited to a our vendor use of 18000,18010,18020,18030,18050
to 18053 and 14970 14980.these are what the site has opened

We keep seeing the Corba opening ports randomly starting at 39000. This will
change on restart.
Where can one set the range!

Any insight is appreciated
