Subject Re: [firebird-support] port requirements for Firebird Services API - IBAnalyst

Hi Ann,

Unfortunately, we did not receive your email to support@... or to ibanalyst@....

Services API works through the same port (3050 by default), as all connections.
Regarding IBAnalyst connection - most likely you don't have correct version of client library in path, and IBAnalyst loads some old version.
The easiest way to fix it is to copy fbclient.dll (it should be 32bit) to its folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBAnalyst27

Hi Firebird users and experts...

Which ports need to be open for the Firebird Services API and which settings in firebird.conf control them? 

In general, I can connect to the database just fine.  I wanted to follow up on the recent article (  http://ib-aid.com/en/articles/firebird-performance-degradation-tests-myths-and-truth/   )  so that is why I'm testing the IBAnalyst utility. I have port 3050 open and IBAnalyst gives an error "connection rejected by remote interface" when I click the [Run] button.  I'm guessing the services API uses the randomly assigned RemoteAuxPort.  I would like confirmation on that before changing the firewall configuration.  I tried writing to support at ibanalyst.com but have not heard back after 2 days.

I am thinking that RemoteServicePort defaults to 3050 and that I should configure RemoteAuxPort to the port of my choice, say 3051, and then let that through the firewall for LAN requests.  Is that correct?  I have *not* yet set RemoteServicePort  nor RemoteAuxPort  in Firebird.conf, so they are going by the defaults.

Server -- running Firebird 2.5.2 on CentOS Linux.

Client -- running IBAnalyst on Windows 7.

Thank you in advance.
