Forms DMZ Whitepaper Need Updated?

Forms Support Site

asked on July 23, 2020 • Show version history

In Forms 10.4.4.444 there seems to be additional endpoints that have been added in the web.config files that I do not remember seeing there previously:

:8170/attachmentTransfer
:8138/lfformgen
:8140/lfformsub
:8142/lflookup

Do these need to be accounted for in the Hosting Laserfiche Forms 10 In A Perimeter Network (DMZ) whitepaper?

Also, what are these used for? It looks like these are using additional ports than what was being used before as well, which is important for us to know so we can make sure firewalls are properly configured.

Hey Blake,

Agree that the white paper could use an update.

The one I know about is :8170/attachmentTransfer.

In a load balanced/DMZ setup, it's used for:

Uploading file attachments from DMZ Forms to file system volumes, if configured to use file vs database storage.
Uploading file attachments from DMZ Forms to internal Forms server, when the internal and DMZ Forms server use different databases.

You only need to update the DMZ Forms server's :8170/attachmentTransfer endpoint to point at the internal Forms server in those two cases. You'll see <add key="EnableAttachmentTransfer" value="true" /> in the <AppSettings> node of the Forms web.config if so.

I've successfully set up a few load balanced Forms 10.4.4 systems and haven't needed to update any of the other new endpoints. Couldn't officially speak to their functions and networking considerations though.
