Storage for portal jobs are typically provided by the DMZ, making communication possible from the internal zone to the DMZ. The shared storage saves the following information:

  • Outgoing portal jobs (from internal to DMZ)
    • outgoing job data
  • Incoming portal jobs
    • incoming job data
    • incoming job XML information

The storage can be located anywhere in the DMZ, offering a wide range of protocols usable to be implemented, such as:

  • NFS (most common, see example below)
  • CIFS
  • SSHFS
  • others

The storage must be read/writable by the user running the daemons.

NFS example

On OS4X portal server side (DMZ), export a directory. Configuration file:

/etc/exports

Content (example):

/nfs 192.168.2.1(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

Activate export on DMZ side:

exportfs -a

Configure shared storage (DMZ)

The path of the shared folder has to be defined in "Configuration" -> "OS4X Enterprise" -> "Portals" -> "Base directory for portal":

Configure shared storage (internal)

The path of the shared directory has to be defined per attached portal server in the corresponding portal configuration in "Configuration" -> "OS4X Enterprise" -> "Portals" -> "Portal server", there in the editing/add window in the field "Base path":
