Accessing Teiid Server from a remote Designer

[vplanat]

Hi,

I'm facing a connection pb when I try to access my Teiid Server from a remote Designer.

I create my connection with mm://IP@:31443 admin/admin and use the "Test" button.

I get the error message "Unable to connect to the specific Teiid Server ....."

I checked on the server side

- could get traffic arriving on port 31443 (tshark -R "tcp.port=31443" -i any). But just a TCP request/response (when I do it on localhost I get a bunch of socket messages both ways)

- No log in server.log

The error message says that my server is perhaps offline, but could not find any doc in the Teiid-admin guide about "offline" mode. ....

A bit lost ..

Could somebody help me ?

Regards

Vincent,

Which version of the Teiid Server are you using? If you are using one the latest 7.2-xxx releases, the "admin" connection is by default secure and uses anonymous SSL. So, try using "mms://ip:31443" as the URL. This is make sure that none of the passwords for datassources are sent clear channel.

Thanks.

Thanks very much for your answer

I've installed a 7.1 version.

I've tried nevertheless the mms: option without success. Still same answer.

I still get this small TCP socket traffic but nothing in the server.log.

Do you have a thread of investigation I could follow ?

Thanks again for your support

Vincent,

hmm, did it just stopped working or it never worked for you?

You can check the admin connection by installing the AdminShell tool, and issueing a "connectAsAdmin()" call. This is exactly same call that Designer does. Otherwise, use "org.teiid.adminapi.AdminFactory" class in the client jar and write a simple test using "createAdmin" method on it. These will rule out any connection issues to the Teiid Server.

Also, I just saw the "remote" part. Did you start the JBoss AS using "-b IP" option? Do you have any firewalls preventing the access to the Server?

Thanks very much for your answer,

Yes -b 0.0.0.0 with firewall & selinux down resolved the issue ..!

Thanks a lot
