[ipac] HIP in DMZ. Is it necessary?

[Tricia Brauer]

Anne-

My understanding is the reverse. When we first installed ipac2.0/HIP we
were told to use port 80, but found we couldn't because port 80 was
already in use for something else (don't remember what that was). So SD
staff told us just to use 8080 instead; and it has caused problems for
some patrons with firewall issues, usually from the workplaces. I
sometimes wish we'd taken the time to move whatever it was from port 80
to something else and use 80 for the HIP instead of 8080.

Hi

HIP by default is setup to run on port 8080.  This causes firewall
problems for some borrowers.  It should always be changed to run on port
80.  This is reasonably easy to do and there are instructions for 3.0x
on the SirsiDynix web for both IIS and Apache.  Otherwise ask Dynix to
do it for you.

Cheers

Anne
