Firewall config is coming back with the line in the title of this question.
I’ve checked and can confirm the only line that isn’t commented out in the connectiosettings.txt file is “* type=GRPCConnection” so that warning doesn’t make any sense to me.
Am I missing something?
Cheers, James.
Hi James,
With that connectionsettings.txt you define that all the clients connecting to this DMA should use gRPC. That’s very good, but .NET Remoting is still active and available on the DMA… The BPA recommends that your effectively disable .NET Remoting.
More information on how to do this, can be found here: DataMiner hardening guide | DataMiner Docs (this link immediately goes to the gRPC section). In short, when you have multiple DMAs, DMS.xml might need to be modified, and then in the maintenancesettings.xml you can completely disable .NET Remoting.
PS: I guess you could also close port 8004 (default port of .NET Remoting) in the firewall of the Windows OS as a first step.

Hi James,
Did you also check the cube setting?
Connection type should be set as ‘Auto’ to work with the settings in ConnectionSettings.txt.
