Hi, First, I drove your post to the ldm-users email list into our inquiry tracking system. re: > The servers in GCOOS just changed the domain name and IP. > > I would like to request a permission to access the GTS data via the LDM > server idd.unidata.ucar.edu > > 1. > Name: om614a-00035.geos.tamu.edu > Address: 10.125.164.196 Two things here: - there is no forward DNS (name -> IP address) for the name om614a-00035.geos.tamu.edu - 10.x.x.x addresses are not public What is the public IP of this machine? re: > 2. > Name: gcoos5.geos.tamu.edu > Address: 128.194.19.114 Since there is forward and reverse DNS for this machine, it should be able to REQUEST IDD feeds from idd.unidata.ucar.edu. You can test this as follows: <as 'ldm'> notifyme -vl- -f ANY -h idd.unidata.ucar.edu Success will be indicated by output that looks something like: ~: notifyme -vl- -f ANY -h idd.unidata.ucar.edu 20201022T221137.618945Z notifyme[16626] notifyme.c:main:363 NOTE Starting Up: idd.unidata.ucar.edu: 20201022221137.618732 TS_ENDT {{ANY, ".*"}} 20201022T221137.628706Z notifyme[16626] ldm5_clnt.c:forn5:460 NOTE LDM-5 desired product-class: 20201022221137.618732 TS_ENDT {{ANY, ".*"}} 20201022T221137.637894Z notifyme[16626] error.c:err_log:236 INFO Resolving idd.unidata.ucar.edu to 128.117.135.3 took 0.000356 seconds 20201022T221137.650081Z notifyme[16626] ldm5_clnt.c:forn_signon:294 NOTE NOTIFYME(idd.unidata.ucar.edu): OK ... The line with the 'OK' shows that the upstream LDM server is ALLOWing your request, and a 'notifyme' connection is the same as a REQUEST in the LDM configuration file, ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf. > Thanks, > Chuan-Yuan Hsu, Ph.D. > > Postdoctoral Research Scientist, > Product Developer, > Department of Oceanography, Texas A&M University,128.194.19.114 > Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System, GCOOS, > > Office: 979-845-3956 > Mobile=E2=80=99: 734-926-5394 > Email: address@hidden > Web: http://gcoos.org > Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
