Hi,

if you want to connect to a JBoss behind a firewall, and you can only connect via ssh to the JBoss server, you should forward the following ports. They are at least sufficient for Naming, Remote EJB calls and web:

• 1098
• 1099
• 1100
• 1101
• 1102
• 3528
• 3873
• 4444
• 4445
• 4446
• 4447
• 8080

You also need to add these system properties in your JBoss start script:

-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost -Djava.rmi.server.useLocalHostname=false

This works at least for a JBoss 4.2.2. If you need other ports for other services, feel free to add them here in this thread.

I've opened this thread, because I've searched a whole day for the required ports, that need to be tunneled through ssh and maybe this information is also useful for someone else :-)

Ciao
