Servoy client install

Hey all,

We have a potential client that does not provide users with admin privileges, nor allow the installation of software by users. Desktop configurations are pushed to the desktop over the network.

They asked if and how Servoy can be installed under this scenario. We’re seeing more and more clients working in environments where the desktop is locked down to help prevent the introduction and spread of malware.

Any ideas if installation is possible under this scenario? How???

Thanks,

Rich Coulombre

Hi Rich

We’re starting to roll out a hosted Servoy system to NHS Hospitals and they also greatly limit end Users.

After working with the trial IT dept we’ve produced a simple doc for Users that also includes info for their IT dept explaining what Servoy is and requesting access to a specific IP address, opening Port 1099 and enabling Java download if not already on the computer.

So far have found IT people to be positive once they’ve seen the whats’s and why’s.

Also - you can use headless client and pure HTML… if IT refuses to install anything.

I thought it was possible to run Servoy without opening any special ports besides HTTP and HTTPS. Is this not the case?

Aside from the Java Runtime, what else needs to be installed?

Hi Lee,

Servoy uses port 1099 for RMI (remote method invocation) - and optionally, if you use the built-in tomcat/apache for launching - then port 8080 (by default).
