Outside Access to MMDoc and MIMBWebServices
By default, MMDoc and MIMBWebServices will only be accessible from localhost (the machine on which they are installed). If the user wants to access them from another machine, they will have to configure them to allow such access. For MIMBWebServices, this will be important for Remote MIMB Server only and not for the local one and not for Agents.
To configure the web application, the Setup utility has been enhanced with a new command line option:
setup -wa [MMDoc|MIMBWebServices]=[ALL|LOCALHOST|List of Ips or Hosts]
The webapp name should be MMDoc or MIMBWebServices and the possible values to allow access from are:
- ALL: which allows everybody to connect (not recommended but useful for troubleshooting)
- LOCALHOST: which allows to reset to the default of localhost only
The allowed value is a comma separated list of:
- IPv4 addresses
- IPv6 addresses
- Host Name which will be resolved to an IP address
When specifying a list of values, the localhost is always appended as it is necessary for local communication.
