Re: Remote WMS http streaming through ISA2004

Hi Neil,

ISA 2004 is handling the port mapping for the external client. I have
configured a web publishing rule the same way for other services which listen
on non-default http ports (for example I have setup a web-based application
on a server listening at port 9000. In ISA I have set up a webpublishing rule
for app.mydomain.com forwarded to 192.168.1.21 port 9000. I can connect from
an external client to http://app.mydomain.com and logon to the application
without extering the internal port).
Isn't this possible with WMS 9? I do not want to open other ports than 80 and
443 on my firewall, so do I have to setup WMS to listen on port 80?

TIA.

Benito

Media Player 9 click open url and type http://stream.mydomain.com/test.wmv)
it does not work.

You've missed off the port number from the "internet" URL. That would
reproduce your connectivity issue. Change the external URL to read
http://stream.mydomain.com:1080/test.wmv since there's no way the
external player will automatically know which port to connect on if
you use non-standard http streaming ports.
