If an applet needs to make a socket connection to a socket other than the one from which it was originally loaded, the connection to the Remote Access server has to pass through a redirector program on the Web server. This occurs if the system and the Web server supplying the client components are running on different systems.
A redirector program for the Windows 10 environment is supplied with AB Suite 7.0, as CE\ReDIR\tcpredir.exe.
There are two commands to use with the redirector:
tcpredir -installinstalls the redirector.
tcpredir -install <1st lport#>:<1st machine name>:<1st rport#> <2nd lport#>:<2nd machine name>:<2nd rport#>
where:
“lport#” is the port number to listen on
“machine name” is the name of the machine to redirect to
“rport#” is the port number to redirect to
This allows the Web server to connect to multiple systems. After installing the redirector, you must start it before can be used.
To start the redirector, go to Control Panel, Services on your Web server. Select TCP Redirector, and then click Start. To stop the redirector, go to Control Panel, Services, select TCP Redirector, then click Stop.
tcpredir -remove removes the redirector.
