Network configuration • Security concerns: In a computer network, the hosts most vulnerable to attack are those that provide services to users outside of their local network • These servers should be separate from the internal network of the service provider. Typical deployment:
Network configuration • Our server: • accepts WMS requests: onlyrequests of HTTP (port 80) are needed • accepts FTP data from (an) internal computer(s) • sendsmeta data data to AEAT using FTP
VM Configuration Default login: user/password
VM Configuration During the configuration, the services are stopped
