Ports for ARD

In the wake of recent reports about wild exploits in VNC protocol we are upgrading security to require SSH or other encrypted access as a prerequisite.
I'm looking to reduce the overhead on the our Macs by dumping OSXvnc and simply using 10.3's ARD to go along with the native SSH.
The latest VNC exploit has increased the scans on port 5900 dramatically (our logs have recorded a 500% increase in just one week including simultaneous scans of 22 AND 5900). Therefore we are looking to continue using non-standard ports that we'd used under OSXvnc (590x range and others in the 64xxx range).
While changing the port SSHD listens to is a breeze, I cannot find any documentation about editing the ports. I've even seen some posts that suggest ARD is permanently married to 5900 for observe and control. True?
What's the straight scoop?

The ARD client is hard-coded to port 5900 and cannot be changed by any means I've seen. If this is becoming an issue for you, submit feedback to Apple so that they are aware of the security concern.

  • How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 in AEB N?

    Help,
    I'm a novice at Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) - not an IT guy, so it has to be pretty basic and detailed.
    How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 on the Apple Airport Extreme BS router, 802.11 N. I have one at each end of the internet connection. At one end I have an Airport Extreme N router with 2 macs and eventually 1 windows XP machine (if I can) that I would like to be able to connect to over the interenet (the clients) and at the other end, I have a Mac with ARD 2.2 installed also with an Airport Extreme N router. Note: Both routers use Static IP addresses and all computers use static IP's internally not through DHCP. What are the settings or directions to do this.
    I have read and printed out the directions for Configuration of ARD 3.0 that are posted many times in the ARD discusion group, but it uses a Linksys router ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm posted by Dave Sawyer). The Mac router is different, particularly with the place to set a Private IP address. I'm not sure about alot of things, but especially about the Private IP address, what number do I set it to, the one that is in my Network connections list? It automatically changes to a different number in AE N setup for Port Forwarding (by one) as if it is not suppose to the same?????
    Are there any directions available that are as straight forward for the Airport Extreme N router, as the one's that are listed here for the Linksys Router's? ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm )
    Any and All help will be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. I know I should have 3.0 but bought 2.2 just weeks before 3.0 came out and they would not give me an upgrade price, so I'm waiting for 4.0 to upgrade.
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Ports for External Connection

    Hi, i have one problem, i dont know what's ports i need to open in my modem for one user in other network connect in my network. I need to make a NAT for this, but i need to know apple remote port for external connection. And sorry for my english, bad.
    thank's.

    You need to open TCP and UDP port 3283 and, for ARD 2.0 and later, TCP and UDP port 5900. For encrypted file transfer (ARD 3.x), open TCP port 22. You may also need to open TCP (and perhaps UDP) 5988 and 5989, though it's not clear under what circumstances this will be necessary.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • Open ports for all in LAN

    Hi, a few days ago I bought a wireless router WRT160n. I want to ask how to open some port for all in LAN(3 clients). For example all in LAN have PeerToPeer application for torrents. I want to open port for example 20202 for all. Now I open port from menu Applications & Gaming->Single Port Forwarding, but I must set port for each user IP address.
    Can somebody tell me how to open port for all in LAN without to config for each computer?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi gv. I read more about UPnP and the WRT160n User Guide. In section Administration>managment int wrote that UPnP is Enabled by default in my router it is corect. I Setup mu PeerToPeer(eMule) TCP/UDP ports to 20202 and check option "Use UPnP to setup ports". I test and close this port on my router configuration for my computer on "Single Port Forwarding", but in eMule the port is still block. Can you explain why it did not work. For UPnP it says that if Enable it allow users with Windows ME and XP automatically to gonfigure Router ports
    Thanks in advance!
    Best Regards.

  • Can there be more than one port for the same logical system

    Can we have more than one TRFC port for tranferring data from one logical system to another?
    The requirement is to transfer same basic idoc type from one logical system to another through two different ports. Is it possible?
    For eg. some specific data (country specific) for the same basic idoc type can be sent through a separate port and the other data through a different port inorder to distinguish between the two.

    Hi Shital,
    I don't think so. Because of that what i told you. There would be a dirty trick (back routing) to solve your issue. But its quite difficult and not standard. You create two http receiver services  and two http sender services. You route your message depending on payload to the one or the other http receiver channel. The receiver is in both cases: THE XI! Now you have a second message, which you  can route to IDoc adapter. But in this case you have different sender and in the receiver determination you can put the sender, so you will be able to use different communication channnels and so different ports / destinations.
    Advantage: Your task would run, no performance problem (http: very good, asynchron)
    Handicap: You see every message double in the monitoring, the scenario is not easy to understand and it is a big task 4 other people to change it.

  • How do I create Labview VISA ports for *individual* GPIB instruments using Prologix USB GPIB controller?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to use a Prologix USB GPIB controller to control GPIB
    instruments, and I would like to have a virtual serial (VISA) port for
    *each instrument*, as is the case with a normal GPIB controller with a
    standard NI driver. However this is not what the Prologix driver
    provides -- it provides a single VISA virtual serial port for the
    entire controller. To address the instrument with GPIB address 11,
    you first send "++addr 11" to the serial port, and then you're talking
    to instrument 11. However, this means I have to change all old
    Labview programs.
    Is it possible to create a "wrapper" function of some kind that will
    define a virtual serial (VISA) port for each *instrument* on the
    controller? For example, to talk to GPIB instrument 11, call it
    ASRL3::11::INSTR, each time it is written to it would have to write to
    the virtual serial port of the controller, say ASRL3::INSTR, first "+
    +addr 11" and then the command that is sent to it.
    A clearer explanation of the difference (i.e. incompatibility), and of
    my objective:
    1) A normal GPIB controller with NI driver: I go to the NI
    Measurement & Instrumentation Panel, under GPIB, and Scan for
    Instruments; all the live instruments show up; subsequently when I
    want to use Labview programs that use VISA ports, the VISA drop boxes
    allow me to choose a different port for each instrument, e.g.
    "GPIB0::11::INSTR", "GPIB0::12::INSTR" would be instruments at
    addresses GPIB 11 and GPIB 12.
    2) The Prologix GPIB controller that plugs into a USB port: In
    Labview you get a *single* VISA virtual serial port, ASRL3::INSTR, for
    the entire GPIB0 controller. Therefore to address GPIB instrument 11,
    you write "++addr 11" to the virtual serial port ASRL3::INSTR, and
    then you are communicating with device 11, so you can write and read
    ASRL3::INSTR to talk to that device. Then to talk to device GPIB 12,
    you write "++addr 12" to the same VISA port, and then you are talking
    to that device. The problem is that this requires recoding all
    Labview code, whereas I would like to be able to use the same program
    either with a normal or with a Prologix GPIB controller. Therefore, I
    would like to create code that scans the controller for all GPIB
    attached devices and creates VISA ports for all. Such ports, when
    written to, would have to first write "++addr DEVICENUM" to
    ASRL3::INSTR (i.e. the port of the GPIB-USB controller) where
    DEVICENUM is the GPIB address of the instrument corresponding to that
    port, and then would have to do a write or read or whatever function
    is being done on that instrument VISA port.
    I haven't figured out if it is possible to do this easily. Help and
    pointers on where to look for hints would be much appreciated. Many
    thanks!
    Milos

    My first impression is that if you don't want to make any changes at all to existing programs is that the wrapper you need is one around VISA. You would need to intercept all of the calls into the NI VISA driver. If you create your own visa32.dll and in there, change the addressing and then call the real VISA driver, you might (repeat, might) get something to work. If this would even work, you still might find that you have to make significant changes anyway. The serial connection is going to be considerably slower, and interface specific functions such as service request handling, bus triggering of multiple instruments, etc., would be difficult to impossible. This would be a lot of work, imho, to just save a couple of hundred dollars over a real GPIB controller. I've seen this Prologix device before and have even used NI's RS-232->GPIB controller. The Prologix intended use to me seems to me more for a hobbyist or very casual user. Of course, I'm used to having multiple GPIB instruments worth 10s/100s of thousands of dollars and the cost of an fully compliant GPIB controller is just lost in the noise.

  • How to forward the same ports for multiple IPs?

    Hi all, I just bought a Linksys WRT54GS router and I would like to forward the same set of ports for two different computers on my network (192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.3) however when I try to, I get a "Port Overlap" error. Is there another way I can do this? I am trying to set up Age of Empires II. Thanks for any help!

    No.  You cannot forward the same port to two different computers  (or IP addresses).  
    Here's the reason why:
    You and your friend are both playing the game online.  You score 1000 points.  Your friend scores 10 points.  The signal to increase your score 1000 points arrives on port 3078.  Which computer is the router supposed to send this signal to?  Both computers?   No way!
    Most online games have a way to assign different ports to different computers.  For example, you might use ports 3075 thru 3078, while your friend uses ports 3175 thru 3178.  If your game is setup this way, it should work.
    Also, you will want to forward ports to a fixed LAN IP address.  In your WRT54GS, note that any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range, and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.   So the 192.168.1.101  address is probably an illegal fixed LAN IP address.
    Here are all the Linksys rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses:
    With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
    When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
    Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
    192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
    192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
    assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
    Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
    It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
    Typically, when I setup gamers, I put thier fixed addresses all together at 192.168.1.21 , 192.168.1.22, etc.   But you can use any legal fixed addresses that you want.

  • Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet.

    Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks

    I did not say it is not possible.
    I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
    Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
    Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
    You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac).

  • Error while creating logical port for Reporting

    Hi,
    In one of the training materials for Duet Enterprise, i saw the steps for creating logical port for the consumer proxy /IWTNG/CO_PXY_RECORDS_REPOSITO.
    When i am trying to create the logical port, i am getting an error saying,
    " SRT Framework exception: Error in WSDL access: Exception occurred in communication framework:Error in HTTP Framework:500 Native SSL error
    https://<server:port>/_vti_bin/OBAFileReceiver.asmx?wsdl "
    I would like to know is it really necessary to create this logical port for "Reporting Scenario" and is it not created automaticallly using the Installation Wizard??
    And in case it has to be created, how to resolve this SRT framework exception?
    ~ Ramanath.

    Hi,
    the consumer proxy  /IWTNG/CO_PXY_RECORDS_REPOSITO was used in Duet Enterprise SP01. Now with SP02 the consume proxy /IWTNG/CO_OBAFILE_RECEIVER_SOA is created.
    However, the SSL error that you are getting looks a little strange (it does not mean that there is an error, but it is worth checking):
    So can you go to SOAMANAGER -> Service Administration -> Single Service Configuration. In here select "Consumer Proxy" from the "Search by", Search Pattern "/IWTNG/CO_OBAFILE_RECEIVER_SOA" and Field: Both.
    You should find one entry. Select it and click "Apply Selection".
    Now go to the Configurations tab. Here you should see one Logical Port with name "LOGICALPORTFORREPORTING" with Creation Type "Manually Created". In fact this logical port was created by the Wizard.
    Click on Display and scroll down again. Now in the "Additional Information" tab there is a string after HTTP Destination, e.g. 0050568E3F5A1ED096F22339C44BAF83.
    Copy this value and go to your SAP GUI -> Transaction SM59.
    Here click on Find/Search and search for this HTTP Destination. You should find one Type G RFC Destination that has the target host of your SharePoint server and the path prefix /_vti_bin/OBAFileReceiver.asmx.
    Now you can test the service. Just click on Connection Test. The result should be a HTTP Response: 200.
    If not, then something went wrong with the automatic configuration and we should take another look at it (for example maybe the SSL certificate from SharePoint that was imported by the Wizard is not valid)
    Regards,
    Holger.
    PS. Don't use the "Ping Web Service" test from SOAMANGER -- unfortunately this is not working consistently.

  • How to Open Ports for HP Printers for all computers within the network (router)

    Hi,
    I have the EA6700 router and a few HP printers and Multi purpose printers/scanner/fax ...
    When installing the print drivers, they are ok.  Sending to printers are not a problem.  However, the problem comes with scanning.
    The HP Software ask to open a port for it...     How do I do that?   I checked, it seems other computers are affected by it too after changing to this new router.
    I read that it can be done on the "App and gaming" section at the Security page.  Do I go to the port forwarding section?   But it only forward to one computer.  that doesn't work...    
     I'd like to open a port and a lot of other IPs can print and scan from it.
    Thanks

    Ports are not needed to be opened on the LAN side of the router for Printers and Scanners. I recommed that tiy contact hp for help and information regarding setup and configuration of those devices. Also the addition of a external Gb network switch for these devices is recommended as well. Would help eliminate any un-necessary router configuration or processing.

    Is the IP address 192.168.1.105 really the IP address of the server in your LAN?
    Moreover, check what kind of modem you have. Follow the instructions here. If the IP address on the status page is a private IP address and the IP address on whatismyipaddress.com is different then your modem does routing too and you have to configure port forwarding there as well.
