[Wrapper-user] Windows Firewall problem

[Marcus L. <ml...@un...>]

Hey there,

I have a few issues with firewall settings and havent found anything  
in the old forum or mail archive.

I run GridGain and OpenJMS with the wrapper as windows system service.  
Everything works except that i can't seem to configure a working  
exception for the windows firewall. (Both services need LAN connection).

Here is what i tried so far:

- run GridGain and OpenJMS as normal Java application with java.exe  
configured as exception in the firewall: this works, traffic gets  
trough the firewall.

- run GG and OJMS as windows service (via wrapper.exe) with java.exe  
as exception: didn't workl, firewall seemed to block the traffic.

- run GG and OJMS as windows service (via wrapper.exe) with java.exe  
and wrapper.exe (both wrapper.exe copies) as exception in the  
firewall: didn't work, again firewall seems to block the traffic.

I can not create a port exception in the firewall since both  
application allocate some ports dynamically.
I could use a script to open all ports of the machines at least to the  
subnet where GG and OJMS have to be available but I'd like to have an  
application exception instead, so there are only as much ports open as  
needed.

Any suggestions on this one?

Thanks.

Marcus.
