In most cases, clients access protected information through a web server running in a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). A DMZ is a network area that is neither part of the internal network nor directly part of the Internet. Typically, the DMZ is set up between two firewalls: an outer firewall and an inner firewall.
You may chose to place your application server in the DMZ, while placing the CMS and all other BusinessObjects Enterprise servers on the internal network. BusinessObjects Enterprise requires that the CMS and the remaining server components are not separated from one another by firewalls.
Note: Placing your application server in the DMZ is less secure than placing it on your internal network. For maximum security, you may prefer to place your BusinessObjects Enterprise application server on your internal network.
