How to define IPSec rule for a client machine to make a connection with RMI server? RMI server use default 1099 port to open socket but then assign a random port for request. I opened port 1099 but don't know what to do with random port. Thanks, -Sophia
 
Hi Sophia, you can't do this with Microsoft's implementation of IPSec. IPSec
can only be used for static ports, it doesn't have a mechanism to specify an
application (and therefore any ports that application would use). You would
have to either protect all ports or find another way to make the rule more
specific (like to the client machine specifically or to a subnet where all
the client machines are located). I'm not familiar with an RMI server, but
other servers allow you to configure a static port and it may also.
