[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Staff Client Port

[Karen Collier]

Perfect, thanks!  Our staff clients are working remotely now.  

This raises another question though.  What kind of security is there to keep
hackers out of the staff client if you can't just firewall it off, since it
uses the same ports as the OPAC which the public is supposed to get to?

Thanks,
Karen

Karen,

The staff client uses the same ports as the OPAC, so you'll need to allow
ports 80 and 443 from the network that you want to allow to connect to your
server.  I've updated the page you linked above to reflect that.  Thanks!
