Internet access to Atrium

What is required to allow a customer to access Atrium to run a rpgsp program from the internet? What ports need to be opened?
To run RPGsp applications from Atrium requires that you configure the HTTP server instance for Atrium to allow for calls to the RPGsp applications. This involves setting up a ScriptAlias to enable CGI calls to your RPGsp object library, and also involves creating some other aliases or paths that can map to any IFS documents required by the applications -- i.e. your CSS, JavaScript files, images, etc.
If you are not famliar with the configuration steps necessary for this, please contact Profound Logic support -- we'll be glad to assist you.
Once this is all set up, just a single port needs to be opened to allow traffic from the Internet. The port used is up to you -- Atrium defaults to using port 480, but in a real-world production environment, you would probably change this to one of the standard ports 80 for an HTTP site, or 443 for HTTPS.
