Install the FME Server Services

Perform the following tasks:

  1. Install the FME Server Services
  2. Configure Firewall Settings
  3. (Oracle WebLogic only) Disable WebLogic Authentication

Install the FME Server Services

Configure Firewall Settings

The FME Server Services and other clients communicate with the FME Server Core over TCP/IP. Requests are sent to the FME Server Core over port 7071. Result messages are returned to clients over a randomly assigned port created by the FME Server Core. Therefore, be sure to configure any firewall settings on the <webHost> with a rule to allow for full communication with the <coreHost> machines.

(Oracle WebLogic only) Disable WebLogic Authentication

If you are using an Oracle WebLogic server, you must disable WebLogic authentication. This step is necessary to prevent WebLogic from intercepting login requests, which interferes with FME Server authentication.

  1. Locate and open the following configuration file in your WebLogic installation:
  2. <WebLogic_install_dir>/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/config/config.xml

  3. Add (or change) the following lines before the security configuration closing tag </security-configuration>:
  4. <enforce-valid-basic-auth-credentials>

    false

    </enforce-valid-basic-auth-credentials>

  5. Save and close the file.
