>From: "Batson, Bryan" <address@hidden> >Organization: JSFC >Keywords: 199908302231.QAA22182 LDM firewall Bryan, Since I didn't see a response to this on the email list, I decided that it was probably a good idea to respond personally. >Hopefully this is close to being "on-topic" for McIDAS users, particularly >those with XCD. Those of us using the Alden satellite broadcast for HRS to >feed to XCD are being forced to find an alternative source of data (as of >10/31/99), and Alden is recommending an LDM/Internet Data Distribution (IDD) >solution. This has brought up some security issues here. > >Specifically, is there anyone in the community that has experience running >an LDM client that goes through a firewall to contact an LDM server to >receive an IDD data stream? We have several sites that do this. >If so, we (JSC) would be interested in chatting with you. There are typically two ways of doing this: o have access through port 388 enabled by your network administrator o have a machine that "sits" on both sides of the firewall >Thanks, I am sure that you are probably looking for more information. If so, please send your inquiry to address@hidden, and we will farm it out to the appropriate person. By the way, I seem to remember trying to convince you (and or Doris) a couple of years ago that using an LDM for data transfers to/from sites like Canaveral. >Bryan >281-853-3242 Tom -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ * Tom Yoksas UCAR Unidata Program * * (303) 497-8642 (last resort) P.O.
