Project Server 2003 firewall configuration

[Hannibal]

Hi all,

I'm in the quite difficult situation:

I have project server 2003 in our extranet lan and it should work with our
domain lan,
which is in another lan.

What ports should be opened between project server and our domain, so that
project server could work propeply?

This is an urgent issue and any help is wanted.

Thanks,

Hannibal

Hopefully you are using https with a certificate, so 443, but if not then 80
as well.
This will be enough for PWA, but in order to get Project Professional to
connect, then you will need to also open a port for a odbc connection to the
database server. Usually this is 1433, but not always.

You should carefully evaluate opening up 1433 (or any port that is going to
expose your db) - if this is purely internal then this should be OK.
Opening it up to the internet is not the greatest idea in the world, and I
would make sure you fully evaluate whether you should or not, hopefully not.

Summary - check what port your db is listening (this may or may not be the
same server as PS is installed on - default is 1433), then work out if you
want to open this up to your other internal network from functional and
security perspectives. 443 for https, 80 for http.

Last note - if there is a http proxy between the network then you may have
issues with intergrated authentication. But I am not going to go into that
unless you post back and this is the case

Hope this helps.

Well, I ment what ports project server needs to authenticate users in
domain.
I think it needs several ports, but I,m not sure what those are.
