Replication Behind Firewall and Proxy Server

  • Hi All,

    I want to ask some questions regarding replication.

    I have 2 server which are going to be replicated. Both are behind Firewall and Proxy Server. For test purposes we have put the servers outside the firewall and proxy server and replication is working fine. But i want to know that what additional steps are required to enable replication behind Firewall and Proxy Server. As long as i know there are some additional steps required to perform replication.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind Regards,

    Affan

  • Replication works the same, the only setting you might use differently would be FTP'ing the snapshot instead of just a copy.

  • Recommend starting with Books Online. Its the snapshot you're concerned with, so you have to alter the params for the snapshot agent to select the destination folder and to use FTP, plus have an FTP site up and running.

  • In addition to Andy's comment about FTP.

    If FTP is not available you can manualy copy the snapshot directory local to your server

    to initialise the snapshot, but this does make reintializing then applying the snapshot a manual process.
