BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Configuring the system for firewalls

This section gives practical step-by-step instructions for configuring your BusinessObjects Enterprise system to work in a firewalled environment. It includes:

• Configuring for Network Address Translation
• Configuring for packet filtering
• Configuring for SOCKS servers

For a conceptual overview of communications between BusinessObjects Enterprise components and of supported firewall configurations, see Understanding firewall integration.

Note:    If you have multiple BusinessObjects Enterprise servers of a given type, the overall procedure for configuring your system to work with firewalls will not change. Configure each server as described in the section that describes your firewall environment, and then specify a firewall rule for the server.
