I'm trying to figure out a way to provide access to my IDL license
server for our folks outside of our building's firewall (other
buildings/classrooms on campus, home, other institutions, etc).
I don't want to poke a generic hole in our firewall because of
a) the security risk of another hole, and b) I don't really want
to provide IDL to everyone on the internet (sorry). What I've
been trying is to set up an ssh tunnel using something like:
ssh -f -N -L 1700:localhost:1700 username@idlserver
This _almost_ works. There is some communication going on
between the client and the server, but the license request
fails. I can tell that some communication occurs because the
error message includes the name of the server (the client
license file has "localhost").
Has anyone implemented something like this? I may have to
try for a full VPN solution if this simple tunnel doesn't
work.
