How To: Bind Web Server to Several Network Cards

Overview

Some use case might require that Terminal Service Plus web server listens on more than one network card, for instance if the server belongs to several different networks.

This feature answers this specific need.

Binding Web Server to Several Network Cards

To bind Terminal Service Plus web server to several network cards, you need to:

  • Create the file "settings.bin" in the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\BYODAPP\Clients\webserver"

  • Add the following line with all the local IP addresses for all the network cards you want to bind to, for instance:

    bind_nic="127.0.0.3","127.0.0.4"

  • Restart webserver (AdminTool > Web > Restart Web Servers) to apply changes

Terminal Service Plus web server will now listen to all queries from all the binded network cards (in our example case the binding would be done to 127.0.0.3, 127.0.0.4 and 127.0.0.1 automatically).
