Recently i have installed IBM SPSS Modeler Server 17.1 to RHEL OS.The SPSS Modeler Server is installed under a non-root user. I have tried to configure the options.cfg file:-
1) Change default port to 8111:- port_number, 8111
2) Enable: administrators, "*" (I know it is not secure, will update the setting after issue solved)
3) Add in parameters: authentication_methods, "pasw_modeler"
4) Use PWUtil to create user:- bin/pwutil >> config/passwords.cfg
Next, i tried to login using SPSS Administartion Console (from my laptop). However, it failed to login with the crendential that i created previously.
But from server log, i can see the statement as below:
2016-04-11 15:31:40,435 18526 0x7f0da0b93760 INFO SDLServerApp AEQMC0075I: Accepted connection from ::ffff:xx.xx.xx.xxx.:60462
2016-04-11 15:31:40,700 19451 0x7f0da0b93760 INFO SDLSessionServer AEQMC0034I: Login succeeded for user: <user>
Any hints or suggestions to troubleshoot the issue?
================< Update >=====================
I have double checked with all version i used for SPSS Server, Client and Administration, and are similar (17.0).
Telnet checking is okay as well.
I tried using SPSS Batch in remote server (where SPSS Server is installed), i managed to connect and create session.
I have also applied fixed patch 1 for SPSS Server and SPSS Batch.
Then, i tried to install SPSS Server under root user. Set administrators, "*" and port_number, 8111. Same issue happened again, the log showed Login Succeed, but client side failed to connect
Any help are very much appreciated.
===========< Update 2 >========================
Actually i have installed the SPSS Server to a local desktop, and i managed to connect to the server with same settings after disabled iptables firewall.
So, are there anything else required to enabled in firewall level? Other than the 3 ports (port_number, cop_port_number, as_port) that we configured in options.cfg file?
I have managed to solve the issue myself. :) Seem like SPSS Server will use random port when connecting with client or administration tools. Due to the infra design here, only a few of ports have been enabled. Thus, to overcome the issue, i have setup the minimum and maximum port range in the options.cfg.
min_server_port, <min>
max_server_port, <max>
