[Openroad-users] OpenROAD runimage via Checkpoint VPN-1 SecureClient

[Fabian Anderson]

Hi Tan,

            I have the same problem with a completely different VPN
server/client.  My understanding is that VPN will not work where the
server must initiate communication with the client.  Most software (that
works with NAT) works because the client initiates the communication
request, but it appears that with Ingres, the server must initiate these
requests.  For this reason, I don't think it will work where you have
more than one client connecting via VPN.  Where there is only a single
VPN client, you may be able to get it working by setting the default
gateway to the IP address of the remote Client.  Additionally, if you
know the port number is fixed, set the client firewall to forward all
requests on this port to the IP of your VPN client.

 

Hope this help,

Subject: [Openroad-users] OpenROAD runimage via Checkpoint VPN-1
SecureClient

 

Hi all

 

I'm trying to run an OpenROAD 4.1 application remotely from a client
machine thru Ingres Net 2.6 while connected back to the server on the
office LAN via a VPN connection using Checkpoint VPN-1 SecureClient. The
Ingres netutil connection fails with Ingres error
"E_GC2819_NTWK_CONNECTION_FAIL Unable to establish network connection".
Issuing an "isql hostname::databasename" also returns "E_UG000F Error
connecting to database"

 

However, I'm able to establish a telnet session to the server
successfully when connected remotely via VPN. 

 

I've done some research on this matter and have also reported it to
Ingres Technical support. 

 

The knowledge articles and recommended solution from Ingres seems to
point to the opening up of TCP ports on the Checkpoint firewall
pertaining to the E_GC2815_NTWK_OPEN line found in the errlog.log files
on both the client and server. I've done so but the problem is still not
resolved.

 

Does anyone have a similar set up and resolution? Any help will be
appreciated.

 

Thanks.
