Configuring the Network Interface Restriction in Virtual DataPort¶

The Denodo Platform allows to restrict the network interface through which the platform’s servers will listen to incoming connections.

In order to activate this restriction, stop all the Denodo servers and edit the following configuration options:

• Virtual DataPort server:

  • Set the property com.denodo.vdb.vdbinterface.server.VDBManagerImpl.registryURL.restricted to the network interface or IP through which the Virtual DataPort will listen to.

  • Set the property com.denodo.vdb.vdbinterface.server.VDBManagerImpl.registryURL to a Domain Name System (DNS) that the server host will resolve to the restricted network interface.

• ITPilot:

  • In the IEBrowserConfiguration.properties file, set the property RemoteIEBrowserPoolImpl.HOST.restricted to the restricted network interface.

  • In the MaintenanceConfiguration.xml file, add the property <restricted> into <extraction><rmi> with the restricted address as value.

• Scheduler Server:

  • Set the property Server/registryURL.restricted to the restricted network interface.

• Scheduler Index Server:

  • Set the property Launcher/registryURL.restricted to the restricted network interface.

• Aracne server:

  • Set the property Server/registryURL.restricted to the restricted network interface.

• Web Container:

  • In the tomcat.properties file:

    1. Set the property com.denodo.tomcat.jmx.rmi.host to the restricted network interface.

    2. If the property com.denodo.vdp.host is not defined it will take as value the restricted network interface from the Virtual DataPort server configuration file.

  • In the server.xml:

    1. Add the property address="${com.denodo.vdp.host}" to the <Server> declaration in order to configure the IP on which the Tomcat servers waits for shutdown commands.

    2. Add the property address="${com.denodo.vdp.host}" as well to the <Connector> component to specify which address will be used for listening on the specified port.

    <Server address="${com.denodo.vdp.host}" port="${com.denodo.tomcat.shutdown.port}" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
    
        <Connector
           address="${com.denodo.vdp.host}"
           port="${com.denodo.tomcat.http.port}"
    
        />
    
    </Server>
