Sadly, you're going to find that that document is not enough to do the job.
It omits specific prots for a number of key applicatioins, including
vic and rat.  I posted a one-page summary of port usage a couple of months
back, extracted from the longer document on the AG web site, which was recast
by another list member in the form of a Excel spreadsheet.
I went through the agdp but could not locate them. Are they out there somewhere? Probably me an my old tired eyes again.


I've been lobbying
for us to have a COMPLETE one-page summary of all ports used -- I think it's
critical to making AG fly in the real world, where we often have to deal with
very strict and anxious network security managers.

Agreed.  Or at least a range of ports for each service may work well also.


  We still have no way of

handing them a sheet of paper and saying, "here are the ports we need, and
what services will be running on each of them".

Cheers, Rick Rodgers

Hi Jim,

You don't mention which docs you've looked at, so I wonder whether you've seen this one yet?

http://www.accessgrid.org/agdp/guide/ports.html

It's got a reasonably good overview of port issues for AG. There certainly are plenty of them!
Excellent. Being new to all of this I hadn't realized that each server may use different ports. Fortunately it seems that the server maintainers do publish the prot info for connecting.

Thanks again,
jim
