Accessing SV from outside DevTest tool

[Thulasi K]

Hi,

I am using a Client Citrix Server say Machine 'A' to access client network and have created Soap Virtualized Services over DevTest Portal installed on a different machine say Machine 'B'. I would successfully test it on the machine where devtest is installed (i.e Machine B)

I would like to access it from SOAP UI installed on Machine 'A' or any development systems in same network. i. e I am able to hit the VS from SOAP UI in 'B' but not on 'A'.
please guide, if I can change some settings in local.properties to achieve this or is this access issue from client side.

regards
Thulasi

Hi Thulasi,

 

This looks like a pure connectivity problem between client (your Citrix server) and server (the VSE).

 

What is the behaviour you see from client side? If it seems like it hangs (indefinitely) it is most likely a firewall issue. I you get a "Connection refused" then you are able to reach the machine but either it is the wrong port, or it is the right port but there are SSL certificate issues (if using https).

 

Cheers,

Danny

Hi Thulasi,

This seems more like of a connectivity issue. Make sure the VS invoking  machine and VSE are having connectivity available (firewall rules, ports etc.)

Thanks

Hi Vaibhav,

Thank You. I pinged the VSE system from VS Invoking machine. It works fine.
I could not telnet with port number, no telnet in system and could not enable one due to security permissions. So I could not validate the opening of PORT. 

Also the Real endpoint URL is SSL enabled https://endpointserver
I have created VS with http://VSE:PORT. 
Can this be compatible, will a http VS replace a https real endpoint. If not, what are the additional steps to take to create a working SSL enabled VS.

If I try to test the VS with http://VSE:PORT I get the following error:

Hi Thulasi,

Please try once with HTTP service and if the port connectivity is available then it should get response.

Once HTTP service works, you can configure ssl certs and try https service.

Thanks
