Hi, Don,

I work with Chris and John.  I'll try to answer your questions.

1)  We would like to install WDSc onto our PC's at home and do development
there using our SunOne portal as the secure means of communications.

Here is what we are currently trying:

1)  We are required to sign in to the portal using a web browser.  This
should establish the secure communication link.

2)  Our portal administrator has defined a port listener.  Essentially,
according to the portal administrator, we are required to point WDSc to
localhost and port 4200.  When we perform an operation, the listener should
detect activity on local port 4200 and react.

I tried this yesterday at home and was unable to figure out how to configure
WDSc to use localhost and port 4200 as a server, since it seems to require
an IP address to set up a server.

I hope this helps define the situation a bit.

Thanks.

Dave Presley

Chris / John,

First an little background then some questions.

I am assuming that you want to use WDSc from home (or remotely) to develop
applications (Web, RPG, COBOL, Java, ...) in addition to using it at the
office.  For the remote scenario there are currently two different ways
that I know of to do this:

1.  Install WDSc on the remote PC and connect to your office network using
VPN or some other secure means of communication (or dial up!)

2.  Install WDSc on a Windows server running Windows terminal services or
some 3rd party equivalent and from your remote PC run a Windows emulation
from the server.  This however would also require a VPN.  The Eclipse
workbench based tools should run fine in this environment, but CODE tools
do not run in a multi-user Windows environment.

Now my questions : )

I am not familiar with the SunONE portal you described below.  Does your
remote development fall into either of these scenario's above?

It seems like you are trying to run WDSc from a Web Application Server and
have clients access the tools via a Web browser?  Perhaps like Lotus Notes
for the Web or iSeries Access for the Web?

Currently WDSc needs to be installed on the PC where is running and does
not support the browser as an interface for remote development.  This is a
development time statement, not to be confused with using WDSc to develop
Web applications that can be accessed via a web browser at runtime.

Please provide more information about the scenario you are trying to use.
We are very interested in trying to make WDSc work in all of the different
network / remote scenarios.

Thanks.

Paul,

I work with John and we desperately want to be able to use WDSCI from home.
Here's some answers to your questions that I got from our network guys.
IBM,
could you help us with this????

Thanks!

Chris

Could you first clarify (technically) what you exactly mean by portal ?
SunONE Portal 6.0 with Secure Remote Access Pack
Basically we plan on using this portal remotely for accessing the AS/400.
It
is capable of running any application that is "web enabled" or an
application that can be redirected to a local port.

Obviously it is not a portal website like 'Yahoo' ?
It can be. That is what Yahoo is using or their Web Site.

Or do you mean it's a VPN ?
We will utilize the capabilities to achieve similar results as a VPN. For
example: Remote File Access, Remote Host Access and E-mail and Calendaring.
