Re: GIS perimeter services
The Perimeter Server in GIS allows a secure means of communicating
between GIS and external partners outside your company. The typical
use for the Perimeter Server is in the DMZ between your external and
internal firewalls.
The biggest advantages of the Perimeter Server are:
1. Use of a proprietary communications protocol to talk to GIS
through the internal firewall.
2. The communications between GIS and the Perimeter Server is
initiated by GIS from the secure side of the internal firewall.
3. Limiting of the amount of exposure you have through the external
firewall since the Perimeter Server handles most of the protocols
you would be using with your external partners (HTTP, HTTP/S, FTP,
FTP/S, SFTP, and SMTP) through the single port you have open for the
Perimeter Server in the external firewall.
4. All the configuration information for the Perimeter Server is
maintained in GIS behind both firewalls. With the old HTTP Server
adapter, you actually had some configuration information residing in
the DMZ.
GIS 4.0 actually uses an instance of the Perimeter Server locally to
serve communications internally with your GIS users.
You can install the Perimeter Server at a later time.
