Issue/Introduction
This is the scenario, assume each conponent is separated by firewall:
When end-user is accessing CABI in OC like generating CABI dashboards in OC, what is the minimum firewall rule required (assuming it is port 443)?
Environment
DXUIM : 20.4.x/23.4.x
Resolution
Note:
ITEMS E/F : When CABI is running the report it tries to make a connection with DB and for that we need to provide inbound rule on DB machine and outbound rule on CABI machine otherwise CABI will not be able to run the report.
If OC/CABI is running on port 80 then port 80 should be opened
If OC/CABI is running on Port 443 then port 443 is required to be opened
When the end-user machine wants to open cabi reports from the OC "reports" menu, the end-user machine must have connectivity with the cabi server on port 80 or 443 - when the user clicks on the "reports" menu option, the end-user machine requests visualize.js file directly from the CABI server, hence the connectivity is needed.
