FIWARE Orion on VMware "Access forbidden"

I have recently instantiated Orion image found HERE on VMware Player. After update to the 0.22 version I can confirm that it is up and running, with curl inside VM:

[root@centimeter ~]# curl -XGET localhost:1026/version
<orion>
    <version>0.22.0</version>
    <uptime>0 d, 0 h, 5 m, 54 s</uptime>
    <git_hash>06bc8fd55ee37567a3754422e78e732c8fd69da8</git_hash>
    <compil_time>Mon May 25 13:25:10 CEST 2015</compile_time>
    <compiled_by>fermin</compiled_by>
    <compiled_in>centollo</compiled_in>
</orion>

However, if I ran this check from host machine (to IP of guest VM or with port forward set properly), I get this:

GET http://192.168.0.104:1026/version
{
    message: "Access forbidden"
}

What am I missing?

I have tried curl-ing to this same IP from VM itself with same error. I have set security rules and tried messing with CentOS iptables, but nothing works. I can ping VM's IP from host comp.

My best guess is that it has something to do with recent CORS implemented. Any help?

Thanks, Dušan

Solution

I don't think that Orion process itself is generating that message, as no place in its source code is able to render that message.

Thus, it seems that another entity is generating that message. It could be a process running inside the VM, you could check using netstat -ntlpd | grep 1026 if some other process is listening on 192.168.0.104 interface. Or it could be some networking process related with VMware tooling running outside the VM (although curl-ing to that same IP from VM itself wouldn't support that option...).

In any case, ensure that that 192.168.0.104 IP is associated to that particular VM.
