Good day
Additional tool for MUMPS servers MiniM InterConnect:
http://www.minimdb.com/tools/interconnect.html
to connect job on one MUMPS server to other job on other MUMPS server in client-server mode. This tool can connect different MUMPS systems on different OS and with different processors - MiniM, Cache and GT.M in any pairs.
Regards,
Eugene Karataev
This looks nice, and might get even more convenient if you'd add "shell" for interactive work and not only API (you do have READ, WRITE, KILL entry points, but why not wrap them in the interactive shell?)
But here is the bigger concern - I've scanned thru your documentation, and haven't found any mention of security. You just open 5000,5001,5002 ports at each respective system, accept all incoming requests, not check any logins or passwords, or challenge phrases, or security tokens, and hope that there is no evil people in the world?
Hi, Timur
I do not have much experience making obstacles for mumpsters. Let those who are engaged in it knows better than me.
Eugene mentions OMI and ECP as traditional interconnection kinds of transport. None of them is quite secure, one may check docs for proof (as to ECP: http://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=... ).
ECP is defined as a basic service in contrast to resource based ones. Basic services can't efficiently use resource/roles/users security model by design. It's understood as their layer is usually too low to apply it.
Eugene's services can be dealt with the same precautions as other basic services, i.e. inside secured perimeter only. Port 500x can (and should) be closed on external firewall.
