Problems Searching NADB-Reports
Users accessing the Internet from within a firewall may not be able
to receive the query results sent by NADB-Reports. They may get instead a
page
with the following error messages "cannot find server" or "this page is
currently unavailable". NADB-Reports uses the Oracle application server to
publish the results of database queries to the Internet. By
default, firewalls allow input from computers using port 80. The
Oracle application server uses other ports, in this case ports 7778
or 7779.
If you are experiencing this problem, the firewall needs to be told
that it can allow connections to CAST servers. This can be done by
asking your system administrator to enable the following:
130.184.75.*.
CAST controls all the machines within its domain, so your system
administrator should feel confident that connections from unsafe machines
will not be permitted by using the IP above.
For more information, please
have your system administrator contact
Bob Harris, CAST System
Administrator.
