Configuring EJB clients to work behind a firewall

[Behrang Saeedzadeh]

Hi all

I'm developing a Swing application that connects to an application server and uses EJBs for communicating with the server.

My application works fine, now that it's not behind a firewall. Can my application also connect to the server when the client is behind a firewall? What if the client is behind a firewall that requires authentication?

If the answer to the above questions is no, could someone please tell me what do I have to do in order to guarantee that my application also works behind a firewall (or an authenticating firewall.)

Best Wishes,
Behrang S.

It's important that such a firewall doesn't drop connections after certain timeout.

If you are going through a firewall then you are best off using http
tunneling for you client communication assuming the performance is
acceptable. If you do this then you should have no problems. For an
authenticating firewall with tunneled t3 you may need to provide
credentials to get through. If you are using wlclient.jar then you may
need to raise a support call since we don't currently support proxy
auth with tunneling.
