Info required on DCE client ports

[R Manickavel]

Hi,

We are in the process of implementing firewall in our DC and part of that we need to enable DCE client ports (outbound) for the following setup:

* DCE client installed on hp-ux 11 in DMZ firewall network

* DCE server installed on hp-ux 10.2 server which is there out of firewall network.

Can someone help me to get the outbound ports to be opened in DCE client machine?

Thanks & regards
Manick.

Restricting RPC Port Assignments


The endpoint map port assignments canbe restricted to a range
(or ranges) of ports. To do this, set the RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS
to the ranges. Refer to "Notes on Programming HP DCE section in
the DCE Plan & Config Guide. Usually set this env variable in
/etc/opt/dce/dce_com_env
Syntax:
entry: [range {,range}]
RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS= {:} ... {:}
Example:
RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS=ncacn_ip_tcp[5000-5110,5500-5521]:ncadg_ip_udp[6500-7000]

will be applicable to your applications using the rpc calls ...
