Hi,
I’m using a PuTTY SSH tunnel to connect to a DataMiner server through RDP.
This is done by port forwarding a local port to the RDP port (3389) of the remote server, and is working fine.
Now, we’d like to make it possible to connect to that server through the same SSH tunnel, using a local Cube client.
- Cube is already installed on the client PC
- A local port 15001 is configured in PuTTY to be forwarded to the remote server port 8004
- Cube is configured to connect to 127.0.0.1:15001 (tried both with and without polling)
So far we’re not getting in.
- Opening http://127.0.0.1:15001/SLNetService in the browser does not return a response, while we do expect this under normal circumstances
- telnet 127.0.0.1 15001 can be connected to
Any ideas?
Hi Ruben,
This should be possible. Cube only needs a TCP connection to port 8004 on the DMA, as long as the connection setting has been set to “Remoting”, the destination port is set to 8004 and polling is checked.
As you are not getting any output from http://127.0.0.1:15001/ I believe the tunnel itself is not set up correctly.
Assuming you are using 2 tunnels (one for RDP, one for DataMiner) I would expect a command like this:
putty -L 15000:10.0.0.5:3389 -L 15001:10.0.0.5:8004 -N -P 22 172.217.168.227
where 10.0.0.5 is the private IP address of the DataMiner and 172.217.168.227 the public IP address where the SSH server is reachable on port 22.
