The current implementation for remote debugging needs two ports to be opened on a stand-alone firewall in between.
- Port 3580 to connect to the NI service locator on the target machine
- A random port for the application on the target to connect to
This port is dynamically assigned to the application by asking the OS for a free one
This dynamic port cannot be pre-configured on the stand-alone firewall except by opening up the whole port rang above 1024.
The latter is something no IT person with any sense of security will do !
So we need to be able to pre-configure a certain port for the target application, so that we can open a dedicated port for this connection on the firewall as well.
Otherwise this whole remote debugging feature is useless to us.
