Connection Manager Installation

When MFT Internet Server is installed in the DMZ, it typically requires connections to servers in the internal network. This can include the following servers:

  • LDAP Server
  • JMS Server
  • Platform Servers
  • SMTP Servers
  • SSH Servers
  • FTP/FTPS Servers

Without Connection Manager, MFT Internet Server must be able to open TCP connections from the DMZ to the internal network. Connection Manager provides the capability to open all TCP connections from the internal network to the DMZ. Firewalls frequently need exceptions to allow connections to be opened from the DMZ to the internal network.
