Is Port 135 required for a secondary Forms server?

asked on June 29, 2014 Show version history

I have a Forms server set up outside a network, on a DMZ. This is strictly locked down. According to the Support article titled "Ports," port 135 isn't listed as being needed for any application. However, Wireshark shows this to be untrue. Port 135 is consistently used when I am trying to "save" a Forms configuration on this server in the DMZ.

 

Other ports in use, which my Firewall is not blocking, appear to be 443, 5048, and 5050. I do have a self-signed SSL certificate that was created on the destination server, and has been placed in the Trusted Root Authority section of certmgr on the DMZ server.

 

I am looking for clarification on what port 135 is being used for in this instance, and whether I need to open that port, or if my failure to connect to the repository internally from "formsconfig" is perhaps due to some other reason.

 

Could port 135 be the port it is using to try and "validate" the self-signed SSL certificate that came from the destination server?

Port 135 is used by Microsoft DCE Locator service( see more detail here:http://www.iss.net/security_center/advice/Exploits/Ports/135/default.htm)

 

I didn't find that Forms Configuration site is using port 135 when save( see video here:http://screencast.com/t/DOWGReFc3nT)

 

Are you using SSL for Forms Server or Laserfiche Server?

 

Can the repositories list appear when you click the dropdown for repository on Repository tab?

 

For the failure to connect to the repository internally, what error message did you get?
