I am running OSX Yosemite on my Mac. I am working on application that runs on weblogic and uses coherence.
I was able to setup weblogic & coherence and everything works when I am at work. When I try the same setup at home connecting via VPN to the work network I face issues. The issues is that my weblogic server cannot talk to the coherence server.
a) My first issue is that I cannot update my hosts file to be permanent. It just vanishes after a restart. I have posed this as a seperate question in SO here
b) I think my problem is that my ports are not open. when weblogic tries to connect to localhost on port 8088 it just hangs there for a long time and then gives up throwing a timeout exception.
c) When I try port scan under network utility I see that the ports that weblogic/coherence uses is open when on work network but closed when I am on VPN.
What should I do to open those ports? Is it on the wireless router that I should open the ports or on the VPN client?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I was able to solve this problem by upgrading my VPN client - Cisco Anyconnect 4.X version.
