JBoss Messaging and firewall

created by Nikos Massios in JBoss Messaging - View the full discussion

Dear all,

 

We are trying to use jboss messaging in a secure environment. In our configuration we have

1) A JBoss 5.1 GA application server that acts as a client

2) A JBoss 5.1 GA application server that runs JBoss ESB 4.6 that acts as a server

3) A firewall that separates the two.

 

We want to configure the firewall to only allow the necessary ports through. So far we have noted down the following ports related to JBoss messaging

1099 JNI

1098 RMI

4457 JMS - bisocket transport


However we are missing one. Each time the server jboss (2) is restarted it starts using a forth port. This port is each time different and the range is very wide (I do not think it has a range). I have seen values from as low as 1XXX to as high as 5XXXX. We want to set this port in jboss configuration to something fixed, so that we can declare it to the firewall. Has anyone done this?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Nikos
